Opening hours, prices and tickets for places worth your time.
The Anchorage Museum in downtown Anchorage, founded in 1968, covers the art, history and science of Alaska and the North. Its mirrored-glass wing of 2009 was designed by David Chipperfield. The Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center shows hundreds of Alaska Native objects on loan from Washington, and the museum also has a planetarium and a hands-on discovery centre.
The Alaska Aviation Museum stands on the shore of Lake Hood, the seaplane base beside Anchorage's international airport, about 7 km from downtown. Founded in 1988, it tells how aircraft opened up Alaska, with bush planes, floatplanes and airliners in its hangars, a restoration shop and the history of Alaska's airlines; floatplanes take off on the lake outside.
