Museums Alaska

Museums Alaska is an Anchorage, Alaska-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting museums and cultural centers across the state. We strengthen these vital institutions through a range of initiatives, including grants, advocacy, professional development, and networking opportunities. Our work directly contributes to vibrant communities and a deeper understanding of Alaska’s rich cultural heritage. Museums Alaska provides essential resources to ensure Alaska’s 100+ museums and cultural centers continue to thrive, preserving the past and powering the future.

As the statewide museum association, we equip museum professionals to excel—and lead—in the ever-evolving museum landscape. We offer a variety of resources, workshops, networking events, and grant opportunities to meet this mission.

We support every museum and cultural center in Alaska from Utqiaġvik to Ketchikan, Unalaska, and everywhere in between. By fostering collaboration and providing crucial support, Museums Alaska plays a pivotal role in strengthening Alaska’s cultural fabric and driving economic growth through tourism and education.
