A new look and many new exhibits! The Anchorage Museum is a great place to spend the afternoon. Parking is either street or a distant parking garage. There is a large outdoor area with grass, trees, and benches. A bus stop is also right next to the outdoor area. Inside the Anchorage Museum is a gift shop and a restaurant for small plates and drinks. Each level has something interesting, but remember there are no drinks allowed in much of the museum. There are two elevators, but the largest of them will access all floors. The largest elevator is also the slowest, so have a seat while you wait. The Anchorage Museum also has music events throughout the year. Went in on a Sunday because it was snowing and couldn't do much around town. Back in Chicago we have world class museums and I was impressed by this museum! Honestly, I thought the museum would be very dry but I was surprised by the exhibits. Lots of great local history and even some great temporary exhibitions when I went. I walked out feeling expired. I'd recommend it to visitors. My only regret is not going on a Saturday when it's free for members of my bank, lol. Its a pretty good museum. I really like their exhibits on the history of Alaska and Natives. It's pretty interesting. The couple times I've visited they always had something different than the last. It still is pretty exciting to visit every time! We had an excellent time at this museum. I learned a lot about how Alaska became a U.S. state, and it was well presented. Many museums jam-pack you in, but this museum was airy and not claustrophobic. Large elevators that opened their doors quickly. I twisted my knee and it was easy to get a wheel-chair (my first time ever in a wheel-chair) (my knee is better now, thank you very much!). Anyway, the only reason I gave this a 4-star rating instead of a 5-star rating was that their planetarium showing on the Northern Lights was rather lame. It just had a brief 4-minute scientific explanation, which they went over way too quickly, then 40 minutes of still photos to classical music. A+. This museum is a must do in Anchorage. I was beyond impressed by the well crafted, beautifully designed, expansive space they have here. Truly a joy to walk through and experience during my time in Alaska. Will be back for sure!
