About This Museum

You might not expect to find a lush botanical garden in the heart of coastal Alaska, but that's just the start of what makes the Pratt Museum so special. It feels less like a formal institution and more like a curious neighbor's treasure trove, packed with stories from the Kachemak Bay. One minute you're peering into a saltwater tank at local sea stars, and the next you're stepping back in time inside a historic cabin. It’s a place that beautifully tangles together our natural world and human history.

Collection Highlights

Don't miss the 'Stories of the Kachemak' exhibit, which weaves together Tlingit artifacts with tales from early settlers. The saltwater aquarium is a living piece of the bay, and the historic Bidarki Cabin gives you a real sense of how tough—and beautiful—life here could be.

Visitor Information

Find it tucked away on Bartlett Street; it's that unassuming building that holds all our town's best secrets. It's cozy enough to explore in an afternoon, but you'll likely find yourself wanting to stay longer.

Architecture & Building

It’s a modest, functional Alaskan structure built to withstand the elements, with wood siding that has seen its share of coastal weather.
