Programs & Exhibitions
Filming at the Museum
Commercial Filming Requests
Commercial filming requests are handled by our Facility Rental department and include projects such as advertisements, feature films, mainstream audience documentaries or any productions with a commercial purpose. They also include requests to use the museum as a backdrop for interviews or other content unrelated to the museum or its collection. These requests are subject to location rental policies, availability, and applicable fees.
Museum-Focused Filming Requests
Requests to film for purposes that feature the museum as a visitor destination or highlight the museum’s collection (e.g., documentaries for educational platforms or tourism features) align with our mission and are reviewed by our Communications team. Such projects may be granted courtesy access, provided they support educational or cultural goals and adhere to our guidelines.
A Film & Photography Request form must be received at least two weeks in advance for consideration. Inquire or submit a request form to mpr@anchoragemuseum.org.
A script or filming plan must be submitted with storyboard or scene descriptions and production schedules noted before any request will be considered.

Alaska Triennial 2025 opens Feb. 7
The 2025 Alaska Triennial invites artists from across the state to share recently created work. This open call reveals not only the depth and breadth of artistic practice in Alaska but also the mastery of a wide range of mediums—from intricate beadwork to graphite, encaustic, ceramic, printmaking, woodworking, and textiles. Through a blind selection process, 47 artists were selected from a pool of 222 applicants. Works featured in the 2025 Alaska Triennial invite visitors to see Alaska through the eyes of its artists: a place where people, land, and possibility remain deeply and inextricably connected. The 2025 Alaska Triennial is juried by Mary Bradshaw, Curator and Director of Visual Arts at the Yukon Arts Centre (Whitehorse, YT, Canada). The Alaska Triennial has been organized by the Anchorage Museum under various titles and forms for more than three decades as a way to celebrate place through the lens of contemporary art and encourage the creation of new works by Alaska artists in a variety of media.
