Exhibits

Alutiiq Museum in downtown Kodiak, 2025.

Our exhibits tell the story of the Alutiiq people–from the distant past to the present day. Archaeological discoveries, Alutiiq language materials, photographs, objects, and artwork fill displays on history, harvesting, social life, and spirituality. In addition to sharing permanent exhibits, we host visiting and locally curated displays. To learn more about our exhibits please contact Exhibit Manager Alex Painter, 844-425-8844.
