Reviews of Maxine & Jesse Whitney Museum (Museum)

Terry Davidson

Great personal museum of a couple who had the foresight to preserve a part of Alaska before it was gone. Great exhibits of wildlife, nature and human interaction of it all.

Sue Costomiris

Nice small museum packed with information and cool animals to look at. Great spot to get out of the rain.

Jennifer Britt

Cool place. My first stop in Valdez

Margie Rother

This is an excellent museum of artefacts and beautiful animal specimens. It's at the college in Valdez and a not to be missed freebie. Donation gladly excepted.

Nice place to explore.

Nick Schumacher

Free to all. Wonderful taxidermy. Ask at the front counter for the history of Maxine and Jesse. GREAT 30 minute stop!

Devin Reiss

Great piece of history.

Toni Emerald

Great, informative, learned a lot!

James Beck

Very compact depiction of Alaskan indigenous lifestyle and animals

Thomas Schlosser

This was my favorite museum in Valdez! The layout had a good flow and the taxidermy was incredible. The name fits as it is the personal collection of the Whitney's and not on anything specific to Valdez. The placards were all well written and easy to read. Bonus: it's free!

I think the best stuffed animals I've seen. The animals look so real you expect them to move around.

Charlene Mitchell

Very nice displays, very informative. And a very nice and informative worker.

This is a definite must-see for those visiting Valdez with time on their hands. Most of what the city has to offer is in the way of outdoor adventures, fishing and boating, so finding an indoor experience was a nice find. We took kids and they thoroughly enjoyed all of the animals on display. Adults enjoyed the artifacts and reading a bit more of Alaska history.

Peary Wilson

Great artifacts and animals!

Denise Barlock

Very cool museum showering the Alaska way of life and time of artifacts and crafts. It's a free museum and worth the visit!

Andrew Goldstein

An underrated and underappreciated little gem of a museum.

이곳에는 2개의 박물관이 있는데 주민들이 추천한 곳입니다 알래스카애 사는 동물과 실생활이 자세하게 볼 수있습니다. 크지는 않지만 아이들이 신기해하며 어른들도 감탄사를 자아내게합니다 입장료가없고 사진찰영도 가능해 즐거운 시간을 보낼수있습니다

Really enjoyed.....especially the stuffed (taxidermy) wildlife. Highly recommend!

Steve Morris

Large collection of stuffed animals, typical of the area, and a large assortment of items manufactured by the indigenous peoples - often just for the early tourists

Margaret Burke

Full of wildlife! The docent was interesting and knowledgeable!

Not a big fan of taxidermy or this style of history, but it's okay I guess

Erika Douglass

Free entrance, donations are encouraged. My kids (DS8, DS5, DD1) LOVED this museum!! The museum starts with displays full of quartz, malachite and other stones, arrowheads, fossils and tools. My 5yo was thrilled to see a genuine narwhal tusk! The collection of Native Alaskan art, clothing and dolls wasincredible. The kids also loved the taxidermied animals and furniture made out of moose paddles. After visiting the museum, we walked across the parking lot to Buccaneer Park. Neat playground designed like two pirate ships. All 3 of the kids enjoyed it immensely. I was also very impressed by the group of teenage girls on the swings. As we walked up with our kids, the girls tidied up their things and relocated to a picnic table so the kids could use the swings. I thought it was a kind gesture and appreciated their thoughtfulness.
