Housed in the State Library, Archives, and Museum building, it showcases Alaska Native cultures, Russian colonial history, and the gold rush.
The museum is located in the Andrew Kashevaroff Building, completed in 2016. Its collection includes clothing, masks, canoes, and totem poles from Tlingit, Haida, Aleut, and Iñupiaq peoples, as well as artifacts from the Russian period, the purchase of Alaska, and the gold rush era. There is also a reconstruction of a bald eagle nesting tree. Summer admission is about $15, and winter admission is cheaper. It's about a 10-minute walk from the cruise terminal.
