The Museum was founded in 1989 by two University of Alaska professors as the State’s only museum solely dedicated to natural history. Originally located in a garage in Eagle River, the Museum moved to its own 12,000 square-foot facility in Mountain View in 2003. The Museum exhibitions focus on Alaska geology, biology, ecology, archeology, and human adaptations. We inspire, through educational exhibits and programs, a better understanding and appreciation of the natural world, the sciences, and ourselves.
