The University of Alaska Museum of the North offers a unique and engaging venue for your party, reception or presentation. Experience all of Alaska right here in Fairbanks!

Located on the West Ridge of the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, the museum overlooks the splendor of the Alaska Range during the day and twinkling city lights at night.

Enjoy exclusive use of the museum's galleries during your after-hours events. We can accommodate receptions, formal dinners, lectures and presentations.

All event facilities are wheelchair accessible and parking is free and conveniently located behind the museum. Winter plug-ins are available.

Catering is available from Nana Management Services, which offers a wide variety of menu selections to suit any event. (Catering charges are separate and made directly to Nana Management Services.) Beer and wine can be served with advanced notice. Some restrictions may apply.

The Museum Store is open during your event and features a variety of items related to Alaska and the Museum collections, including books, jewelry and hand-made Alaska Native art. All proceeds support the museum programs.

Museum Attendants are on hand to ensure that your event runs smoothly. Attendants answer questions, provide security, assist with logistics and assist guests in the Museum Store.

Most private events are held during hours when the museum is not open to the public — after 5 pm from September 16th through May 14th. Since the museum is open 9AM to 9PM from May 15 through September 15, scheduling events in the summer is not recommended.

To make your reservation, please fill out an event form and contact: Janet Thompson at 474-6640 fnjat1@uaf.edu
