I have to give a shout out on this great little exhibit my bro in Juneau put together. There's a bunch of interesting iron here from WWII and the gold mining era, plus some truly unique native weapons. I haven't been down to take a look at it yet but if anyone is in Juneau over the summer be sure to stop by the State Museum. It's only a few blocks from the main tourist strip by the cruise ships. Tell the curator of collections his brother sent you.
