Alaska Outhouses...

We spent the morning at the University of Alaska, Museum of the North. A cool museum, no pun intended.

They have several movies, lots of history about the settling of Alaska, WWII and a great collection of contemporary art in the Dorothy and Herbert Vogel gallery. 

He was a postal worker and she was a librarian in New York City. Together they amassed a huge collection of art that has been distributed to art museums as part of the The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States. What an amazing collection!

I have to include a picture of the brown bear, Otto. We want to see a brown bear, but from a distance.

So, outhouses you ask? There was one display titled The Great Alaska Outhouse Experience. An interesting chance to sit down with your thoughts and some art... But no plumbing...

Another interesting item was a diploma written on moose hide. Yes, moose hide. Either you were responsible for your own or maybe they only have one moose worth of graduates. 

Either way, it makes you appreciate the little folio you received on the temporary stage in the gym.

Just saying...
