We had done some tours in Juneau before, so this time we just went to the State Museum. It was pretty interesting if you like that sort of thing -- lots of history on pre-European, Russian and U.S. eras.

Excellent but a long walk to get there . Displays well laid out and if you want you can take the guided tour.

This is a great museum and not so overwhelming that you can't enjoy it in an hour or so. Also seemed to have hands-on activities for kids -- that I just walked by. The circular walk-up past a central diorama is great.

Wonderful presentations of historical artifacts from Native, Russian and United States Control. We spent about 1.5 hours going through the museum and had a wonderful time.

Unfortunately, we docked in Juneau on a holiday and the museum was closed. I was really looking forward to learning more and going through this museum. I personally don't think museums should be closed just because it is a holiday. That is the time when more people could visit and the musuem could actually serve the intended purpose - education.

Easy to walk to, it was just behind the hotel. An excellent variety of artifacts and displayed nicely. It will be closed for a while because they are adding on to the facility.

Nice and interesting museum to visit for 3 bucks. A good introduction to the culture of Alaskan natives.

You can easily kill an hour in here, maybe a little more. Lots of history about the local native tribes. For three dollars you literally cannot go wrong. There are some very neat displays of the hunting techniques that the Native Americans used historically. There are some beautiful displays of nature and wildlife, as well as some very interesting art.... More

Don't miss this. This is a small museum by most standards, but that makes it possible to enjoy the whle thing without getting exhausted. It's conveniently located downtown, and is packed with the most interesting and important information and exhibits about local peoples and cultures, wildlife, Russian-Alaskan history, mining, etc. as well as rotating exhibits. Exhibits are very creative and... More
