Lonely Planet review

This excellent museum is UAF's main tourist attraction and sits overlooking the Tanana Valley. The most famous exhibits are Blue Babe, a fully restored 36,000-year-old bison that was found preserved intact thanks to the permafrost, and the awesome gold nugget display.

The museum recently underwent a 42 million dollar expansion that more than doubled its size and dramatically amplified its impact.
