Open since 1967, our store is a locally-owned, Alaska Native family business in the heart of Downtown Juneau. There are two levels filled with beautiful handmade art from around the state of Alaska, much of it being made in the store. The types of art we sell are Alaska Native woodworking, totem poles, boxes, scrimshaw, ivory, silver and gold jewelry, and stone sculptures. Native artists work on their art upstairs where visitors can watch and ask questions of them. We have everything from high-end art to more inexpensive items. We cater to every person, and love to share our knowledge!

When It's Dark, I See the Lights! I relocated from Brazil to Alaska in 2001 and have been chasing and photographing Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) ever since. I never heard about the Northern Lights before I moved to Alaska. The first time I saw them it was love at first sight. That was it! From there on I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to share the Auroras with the world and show them to everyone who doesn't have the opportunity to see the Northern lights. That's what I have been doing since. From long and cold nights photographing amazing auroras through the skies, and teaching northern lights photography workshops, to the summers explaining and showing the auroras to the ones that are not able to visit Alaska in the winters. I am a photographer in Alaska, living the dream life of many photographers. Many of my images were published by NASA, Space Weather Live, Washington Post, space.com, Nature Photographer Magazine, Society of Nature Photographers, just to name a few.

Collectors, hikers, campers, hunters, fishermen, and all-round knife geek enthusiasts enjoy our store. Whether you arrive by cruise ship, private boat, or plane (because you cannot drive to or from here) come see us when you visit Juneau. If you're on tour with Juneau Food Tours, we're a tasting stop on that program. We're just like you, occasionally we need a knife to perform a task and when we do, we want the best. At Merchants Wharf you'll find great locally owned stores, fresh locally caught seafood, locally brewed Alaskan Brewing Company beers on tap, and simply the best view in town! Real Alaska and Real Alaskans!
