Great Museum!
Just back from a trip around Alaska. Started off with a 3 day trip from Homer to Unalaska (Dutch Harbor). Fantastic voyage with a local flavor. One of the highlights in Unalaska was a visit to the Museum of the Aleutians. Unalaska has been the site of heavy archealogical work the past few years and many of the finds are on display at the museum - some as old as 9,000 years. A new building, roomy and well lit, it took all day to get thru the many displays. Archeology, native history, Capt. Cook's 3rd voyage, a whole room full of art from local artist Ray Hudson, and much more. Well worth the visit. Great books in the gift shop as well.

Don't miss this when in Unalaska.
Very well done and interesting. The hours can be tricky so make sure you plan to go ahead of time. It's small but rich with information and beautiful elements of culture. Ignore the Dutch Harbor fishing industry exhibits. That's certainly not the real Unalaska.
