Out of all the museums we've been to, this was our first arctic one. Very unusual and informative! We especially liked the exhibits of arctic clothing, tools, photographs, and art.

Unique special museum small but rich with culture, Inuit, seal, African American, women, kyaks,... Animals. A special find. Needs climate control to save the valuble collection.

Nice information about Matthew Henson who actually arrived at the pole first. He was a guide for Perry.
