Alaska Indian Arts in Haines, Alaska, United States
4.5 (15 reviews) Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #16 in Haines Points of Interest & Landmarks
first nations art that you can get into
Artists working live, curator providing information on artifacts left out to touch and feel, i dont usually find much interest in "native art" as it has been over-commercialized, made in china and so on, but this was genuine - a working creative studio, unapologetically messy, and hands on touch/feel/ talk/ learn something new. see something that actually moves you. yep - i bought stuff. and got some great photos too. i highly recommend this visit. and its free if you dont get caught up in the great art and simply have to buy something. which by the way is authentic and at a great price.

Great Museum
This is a very interesting museum. One of the staff took time to explain about the totems and carvers and answered our many questions. Is was a very rewarding experience.

Inside Fort Seward
This Arts center is located in the hospital building of the Old Fort Seward, on the left side of the Fort as you go up the hill. It is a non profit which is dedicated to promoting and preserving the arts and crafts and culture of the Northwest Coastal Native American tribes. Totem poles are carved here. There is also printmaking. Great place for an introduction to Northwest Native American culture, but go to the nearby Jilkaat Kwaan Heritage Center to see more in a Klukwan village.
