A Shout Out to Our Donors
City Museum donors provide free admission and much more. Their generous financial contributions support our on-going efforts to bring virtual programs, exhibits, and educational activities to our community- even when our doors are closed due to COVID19. This month, we thank the Pioneers of Alaska Men's and Women's Igloo #6 for their generous donation. Thank you!

Tour the Museum from Home! |
Due to the rise in COVID19, the City Museum is temporarily closed to the public for drop-in visits. In the meantime, you can still come to the museum by scheduling an in-person tour for an individual or small social bubble. However, you can also visit the museum from the comfort of your own home with the assistance of our newest staff member, Shelby the Robot! To drive Shelby the Robot, you will need a computer or cellphone screen. Call the museum at 586-0966 for more information, or to schedule an appointment.

The City Museum is excited to provide museum tours from the safety of your own home with the assistance of an Ipad Double Robotics robot. When you schedule a tour with Shelby the Robot, you will receive an email with a link that allows you to connect remotely to the IPad robot. Using the arrow keys on your computer, you can drive Shelby throughout the museum. The Ipad becomes your eyes (camera) for viewing exhibits and you will be able to see and talk with museum staff. |

Continuing Exhibit
Through October 18, 2021
Echoes of War: Unangax̂ Internment during WWII
|
Echoes of War: Unangax̂ Internment during WWII brings attention to the history of the Unangax̂ internment camps in Southeast, Alaska. It is the story of the people of St. Paul and St. George (the Pribilof Islands) who experienced internment in Southeast Alaska at Funter Bay from June 1942 to May 1944, and their subsequent return home to the Pribilof Islands. Telling this story in the words of those who experienced it, we aim to highlight this event and shed light on a topic that is often excluded from history books and school curriculums around the country.
This exhibit was originally intended to be our summer 2020 exhibit. Due to the pandemic, we have extended the exhibit through October 18th, 2021. We hope more people will have an opportunity to visit the City Museum next summer.

The Juneau-Douglas City Museum fosters among its diverse audiences an awareness of Juneau's cultural heritage, values and community memory so we may draw strength and perspective from the past, inspire learning, and find purpose for the future. As a public trust, we collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit those materials that document the cultures and history of the Juneau and Douglas area. |
