The Imaginarium

The mission of the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center is:

• To collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret materials that illustrate the art, history and science of Alaska and the circumpolar north
• To maintain an active and diverse exhibition program that acquaints the community with the global spectrum of human artistic, cultural and scientific expression
• To provide a major cultural center for Anchorage where the community and its visitors meet, create, learn and participate in the Museum programs and activities
• To stimulate the activities of a creative population of artists, historians, anthropologists, scientists and other allied professionals

The Museum has expanded its mission to include science – a natural evolution in a land whose art, history and culture is deeply informed by environment.
