As I have done multiple contracts in Alaska, I decided that I'd like to catch a movie I'd wanted to see so I caught the public bus and came here. Polite and friendly teenagers greeted me and sold me the ticket and another sold me my popcorn and soda which I paid with my debit card. Prices were about the same as back home in Charleston, SC. But both smiling teens I talked to said "Enjoy your movie!" The screen I was at here had better seats than Ketchikan's theater and while I am not overweight, I still had room in the seat and was comfortable. The seats seemed newer and had plenty of spring to them. All in all a nice theater! If I was looking for something to do on a chilly rainy day, I'd come back!

The museum is modest in size (compared to the Alaska State Museum) but you can stay here for a very considerable amount of time as there is a lot read, a short film and all the artifacts to examine that are on display. Excellent museum for the tourists but the locals will walk away with plenty of value for themselves from it as well. Very friendly and informative staff which is always a good thing!

That's the exact weather we were faced with and we found the museum about a 15 minute walk from the port. This was the largest museum we encountered on our Alaska cruise and one of the best. Lovely displays of native art and key moments of Alaska history. Nice lockers for all your cold weather/rain gear as well! Definitely worth a visit.

We visited Sealaska Heritage, a Native nonprofit, in downtown Juneau. (It is easily accessible from…read morethe cruise terminal). The museum focuses on the story of Southeast Alaska's Native people that began 10,000 years ago and continues today. The centerpiece of the museum is a replica of a clan house, as well as exhibits with one-of a-kind Native art. Admission to the "Nathan Jackson Gallery Exhibit" was $7.00 for me; $5.00 for my elder (65+) husband (June, 2025). There is also a large shop with authentic, unique, and high-quality Native arts, as well as other souvenirs. Visits to the museum and purchases directly support Alaska Native artists, workshops, indigenous language revitalization, and cross-cultural programming. The building itself, as well as the tall totem poles outside, are photo-worthy. We have mixed feelings about our visit. It was confusing upon entering the building. The gift shop was on the left; museum on the right -- but it wasn't clear where to buy tickets for the museum. After buying the tickets in the gift shop, we proceeded to the museum. No staff were on-site. While well-maintained, it was quite small with only a few rooms -- the clan room/auditorium and rooms with individual art and artifacts. However, there was no context for the significance of these items to the Native cultures. Others have commented on the usefulness of on-site docents; unfortunately, this was not our experience. We're atreating our visit as a donation towards the objectives of the Institute; otherwise, the price of admission is high given the experience. As for free activities, it's definitely worth a visit to see the totem poles and to drop-in to the excellent gift shop.

Well worth your perusal as it is a quality shop. The Nathan Jackson Gallery Exhibit is a collection of stories and art from the SE Alaskan native Americans. A very dignified docent takes you on a tour of a tribal meeting and living building, displays of native arts and historical video and slide shows. Cost is $7 for people aged 7 years old and up. Seniors are $4. You cannot enter without a paid ticket. Nothing is in depth, so it will not take you long to take it all in. But Alaska IS different from lower 48 cultures and peoples. Certainly this is well worth your time when you are passing through Juneau.
