Art of the North
Untitled, Mt. McKinley
Sydney M. LaurenceThe Anchorage Museum Association has a wide-ranging collection of art that reflects Alaska and the circumpolar North. Seven galleries on the Museum's ground floor are devoted to this collection. These galleries include:
- Early views of Alaska
- Life in the North
- Paintings by Sydney Laurence, perhaps Alaska's best known artist
- Portraits, both traditional and unconventional
- Landscape paintings
- Works by contemporary Alaska Native artists
The galleries slowly change as the museum adds new works, or as sensitive works are rotated off display.
