Who We Are

Strengthening museums to strengthen communities.

Become a member

Alaska’s museums and cultural centers aren’t relics frozen in time — they’re dynamic forces propelling us toward an enriched future, culturally and economically. Engaging with and contributing to museums helps preserve the past and power the future.

Please join us in meeting our mission!

As the statewide museum association, we strengthen museums and cultural centers through funding, research, statewide initiatives, advocacy, professional development, information sharing, and networking. Stronger museums and cultural centers lead to vibrant communities with more robust economies, higher quality of life, and diverse educational opportunities.

What we do

We support every museum and cultural center in Alaska from Utqiaġvik to Ketchikan, Unalaska, and everywhere in between.
