Pratt Museum

The natural and cultural history of south central Alaska is depicted at Pratt Museum, which is operated by the Homer Society of Natural History.

Exhibits include artifacts from the early prehistoric peoples and homesteaders in the area to modern inhabitants. Aquariums and a tidepool tank contain sea life from Kachemak Bay with complementary exhibits focusing on sea and land mammals and birds. An exciting new feature in the museum is a set of remote video footage of bears at the McNeil River Sanctuary and a seabird rookery on Gull Island in Kachemak Bay. Visitors can operate the cameras for a truly unique perspective on the wildlife of the area. Also on view are exhibits highlighting Alaska art, including paintings, sculptures, and photographs, plus a botanical garden and forest trail with panels interpreting wild plants at the museum.
