Create your own itineraty to fit your needs. We'd love to show your guests our extraordinary museum.

Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery
Showcases 2,000 years of Alaska's art. The Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery interprets art as an expression of the Alaska experience. Ancient ivory carvings, coiled grass baskets and other Alaska Native artworks will be featured side by side with works by Alaska's beloved landscape artists.

Gallery of Alaska
Offers award-winning displays on the land, the animals and the people of Alaska. Highlights include fist-sized gold nuggets, a 36,000-year-old bison mummy, whale skulls and mammoth tusks. This captivating gallery provides an outstanding overview of the entire state - whether it's the first or last stop on your tour.

Multimedia Programs in the Arnold Espe Auditorium
An enhanced version of Dynamic Aurora is being developed in partnership with the UAF Geophysical Institute. The new show Winter will debut at the museum this summer. Winter will give visitors a taste of our longest season and explain how we cope with the extreme temperatures and enjoy the awsome beauty.

Be sure to plan time for your visitors to explore the Museum Store. With a wide variety of Alaska Native art, books, jewelry and Made in Alaska products, your guests are certain to find the perfect Alaska souvenir.

With the 2005 opening of our new wing, we offer visitors an entirely new experience. The building itself will be a must-see for Alaska visitors, offering breathtaking views of the Alaska Range and Tanana Valley.

If you have any questions about planning your visit or what to expect, please contact us at museum.tours@uaf.edu. We hope you're looking forward to another wonderful Alaska summer as much as we're looking forward to having you and your guests visit us.
