In the city of AngolaAnchorage museum (安哥拉治歷史藝術博物館)There are a lot of exhibits here, including some local artworks, history exhibits, science exhibits, and local indigenous artifacts, etc. It is a good place to learn about the history and culture of Alaska quickly. It is a good place for us to learn about the history and culture of Alaska. We came here as our first stop in Alaska to refresh our knowledge about the history and geography of the place, which would be helpful for the rest of the trip.
In fact, the Angola Museum is a comprehensive museum with some artworks inside and outside the museum, which is quite artistic.
The history of Alaska was introduced through photos, multimedia and some still life models. When we were there, the exhibition on the first floor was more focused on the history of Anchorage.
When it comes to the indigenous people of Alaska, the most famous are probably the Eskimos. Apart from the Eskimos, there are in fact many other ethnic groups, just like those in Taiwan, and they all have their own dialects. We also attended a tour at noon, which explained the history and culture of the aborigines. In terms of exhibits, the entire third floor was devoted to the history of various ethnic groups. The Eskimos and the Russians are the main ones. I am not going to talk about the Eskimos, but some people may not remember that Alaska was once a Russian colony. For those who know a little bit about the history of Alaska, they probably know that the Americans bought this land from the Russians at a very cheap price. As a result, there are many Russian descendants here, and in fact, many of the current residents are still very pro-Russian.
Hunting has been an important activity in Alaska since time immemorial, and wildlife was already abundant in the vast tracts of semi-primitive Alaskan land. One of the most famous hunting activities was the whaling of the Eskimos.
Apart from history, there is also a whole area of science exhibitions on the second floor which are very interesting, including an introduction to the causes of aurora borealis. In addition, there are also some ecological profiles of animals and plants.
