University Of Alaska Museum- Fairbanks

The University Of Alaska Museum at Fairbanks overlooks the city and the Tanana Valley. This award-wining building is divided into regions of the state with each section examining the geology, history and unusual aspects of that area and is truly world-class.

Native cultural displays are a good introduction to Athabascan, Eskimo, Aleutian and Tlingit culture.
