Juneau-Douglas City Museum
A small city museum in the former Memorial Library across from the State Capitol, telling the story of Juneau's gold rush and city history.
The museum occupies the former site of the Juneau Memorial Library, built in 1951. Its exhibits cover gold rush tools, historic photographs, Indigenous crafts, and the city's development, and there is a totem pole in front. The museum provides a walking map of downtown's historic sites, so you can explore the surrounding historic buildings. It's small and inexpensive, making it a convenient stop during a visit to the State Capitol.
