University of Alaska Museum of the North is one of Fairbanks’ premiere museums, showcasing a variety of exhibits related to the state’s notable people and places. The recently-renovated museum is designed to evoke the landscape of Alaska, with design elements subtly mimicking the state’s alpine mountains, glaciers, and rivers. Its centerpiece exhibit is its Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery, which features a collection of works by Alaskan artists across history, from ancient indigenous carvings to contemporary art pieces by both Native and non-Native luminaries. The state’s cultural history is chronicled within the exhibits of the Gallery of Alaska, while its geologic landscape is recreated in The Place Where You Go To Listen, an interactive exhibit that changes based on natural statistics such as the state’s aurora and seismic activity.
