Lonely Planet review for Museum of the North

Museum of the North at the University of Alaska rivals the Anchorage Museum of History & Art as the state's most impressive cultural center. A $42 million expansion added a Alaska Native art gallery and a sound-and-light theatre that features the northern lights. But the most popular exhibit is still Blue Babe, a 36,000-year-old bison found preserved in the permafrost.

    Good Overview of Alaska

    ashleypaige recommends this,

    I really enjoyed this museum. I think that it had a lot of interesting exhibits varying from natural history, a large amount of archaeological artifacts, history of people exploring Alaska, as well as a good selection of Alaskan art.
