 Museum Shop
Proceeds from this shop make it possible for the museum to keep its doors open, provide museum school programs, public programs and special exhibits for our community and guests. Our goal is to expand the educational experience of the museum visitor by selling items that enhance the museum collection and programs.
We had a wonderful year in the museum shop. With all the artists willing to consign their work and with a purchased inventory we have managed to make a few dollars this year. Less our expenses we made $17,129 to be used to keep the museum open and programs running.
Our challenge is to keep the inventory fresh and unique. Sue will keep working on finding unique and Alaskan items for the shop. Keep checking in with us for new inventory throughout the year.
Our Cat’s Meow Collectable Buildings have grown to 10 buildings. Our 2008 building is the Icy Straits Packing Company known today as Icicle Seafoods.
 Special Thanks to our Shop Keeper Cherie Maattala for being such an exceptional shop clerk!!
