For just a little bit more than the price of admission my wife and I got a 16 month VIP pass. That's turning out to be a really nice treat. On Sunday we stopped by the museum and just roamed around aimlessly looking at the various collections. It was very serene and left me with a fresh perspective, as art often does.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-54613077895628237532014-01-06T14:01:11.354-09:002014-01-06T14:01:11.354-09:00Glad you could get away for a few days.

You have to go through it (literally, no highways around) to get to the Kenai peninsula with Seward and Homer.

Otherwise, the actual regular exhibit space is about the same. We didn't visit the special exhibits on the upper floors of the museum and the UA children's museum is temporary.

I have a friend that lives there and he had invited me to stop by but I didn't want to deal with traffic. I feel it's just another big city.
