While it can be argued that nearly everything at the former Alaskaland is a museum,
there are generally recognized as being three distinct museums on the
grounds:
There is the
Pioneer Museum, the Air Museum, and the Alaska Native Village Museum
(Athabascan).
This museum takes a look at Alaska through the Athabascan culture. It
houses such Native artifacts as a wolverine parka and traditional tools. A mural depicts
life along the river.
This museum offers a glimpse of Frontier Alaska. It is
located in the Pioneer Hall, in Gold Rush Town. A
companion display, The Big Stampede Show
will
give you a real feel for the hardships faced by those involved in the Gold Rush, as it
takes you on a narrated tour of the Gold Rush Stampede.
