This place provides the white glove personalized experience. They have wonderful artifacts and a guide who got us started. He was a great guy and very informative. Learned so much from the experience. And the gift shop is wonderful. They are supporting native artists. They have a great selection of fantastic jewelry and art.

I came in and was immediately greeted by John (I think that was his name). SOOO friendly and excited to share his heritage with my son and me. He took us into a large room and explained each level of the replica traditional home. There were lots of informative displays along the back wall with old pictures to help explain in more detail. Although this museum is not very large, doesn't have very many exhibits, it was nice to have a personal guide to answer all our questions.... Except one.... Why is their language SOOO similar to Navajo? I could read some of their words, they were the same in both languages! :-) I only gave 4 stars because it didn't have very much on display, but what they had was presented nicely.... especially the room/house. That was great!

Replica of a clan house where up to 40 people would live was a unique perspective to see in person. The tour guide was super informative and quite funny with his jokes and humor. Low cost for a ticket, and you gain so much knowledge and informative from the tour and exhibit. Definitely stop by when you are in Juneau.

As many have noted here, John at the front desk was extremely friendly and a great guide to the intricacies of life in the clan house, which was so beautifully recreated with hand tools inside. Beautiful glass and wood work. We were also extremely lucky to be able to take time with the artist in residence Ursula Hudson. We dropped in with less than an hour left in her residency and she still took the time to speak with us, form a connection, and share her perspective on the modern life of formline art. Absolutely riveting and real conversation. Their exhibits, though small, kept us in attention for longer than many other Alaskan museums. I personally loved their exhibit Raven in Motion, and we saw the creator/trickster figure everywhere throughout the rest of our Alaskan tour. This museum was the highlight of our entire 10-day trip for my wife and I. Thank you John, Ursula, and the Sealaska Institute!

What was there was interesting. It was not large. Much displayed was for sale. There was no restroom. The videos were interesting, but you had to stand a long time to watch from start to finish.
