First Friday: Opening Reception Bering Sea Storms: Past to Present

Friday, February 7, 2025 | free admission from 4-6pm

Please join us for the opening reception of our new special exhibition, Bering Sea Storms: Past to Present. In 2022, a group of scientists as well as local youth, elders, and stakeholders participated in a research trip transiting the Aleutian Islands to study Bering Sea storminess, gathering data to help further understand the historic record of extreme storm events. The goal of the project was to help communities plan for future storm scenarios that may result from rapid climate change. Bering Sea Storms: Past to Present highlights the research collected and the way that scientists and Indigenous Alaskans worked together.

Admission is FREE for First Friday from 4-6pm. All three galleries of the Museum will be open, as well as the Museum Store. Enjoy light refreshments, explore the exhibit, and connect with other community members.
