Today we made a visit to the University of Alaska to visit its terrific museum! We could easily have spent the whole day in the collection. Part of the museum is divided by geographic region with many historical artifacts and exhibits. Another part contains some terrific art, both for practical use and as statements by the artists. Mike and I had our photo taken with Otto, the 8'9" bear welcoming people to the exhibit. I took photos of some of the artwork, too. The most interesting piece is an outhouse that you can sit in and peruse the objects the artist has included.
Since we are heading to Barrow tomorrow we cooked an early dinner. We brought some sunfish from Minnesota that Mike and my brother-in-law Gene caught. The fish had been in our freezer while we traveled. Mike fried it in our cast iron skillet on the grill. What a treat!
Great Photos!
ReplyDeleteI can smell the fish frying. The museum sounds like a neat place to visit and absorb the history.
