Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

The Norman Lowell Art Gallery Foundation is a non-profit charitable Foundation which aims to preserve and share the Norman Lowell Gallery of Alaska free of charge to visitors around the world.

The large permanent collection showcases the beauty of Alaska in works ranging from small sketches to massive oils, some of which are over 6 feet in height. Visitors to Alaska are welcomed to come spend as much time as they wish walking among the Permanent Collection, as well as walk the old homestead grounds and see the original cabin, gardens, and studio. A sales room is dedicated to high-quality prints of many of Lowell's works, as well as a number of originals.

I visited the Norman Lowell Gallery on the recommendation of a local and I’m so glad I did! I had the gallery to myself, and I enjoyed making my way through his beautiful works and reading the commentary on each painting. His larger paintings are stunning! It’s a very special place and I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent museum, including interesting material about John Muir. Historian and archivist Daniel Lee Henry was there explaining some of the exhibits, and his excellent book on Muir, "Across the Shaman's River: John Muir, the Tlingit Stronghold, and the Opening of the North," was available for sale (and signing).

What a treasure in downtown Juneau! Informative and entertaining for all ages. Plenty of interactive exhibits for children and outstanding works in the permanent collection. A great place for hands-on learning about Alaska and its rich and colorful history.
