Permanent Exhibits
The Kodiak History Museum strives to share the diverse perspectives and stories represented in our community’s history through both permanent and temporary exhibits.
Stories are meant to be experienced, not just seen. Permanent exhibits consist of photograph, object, and narrative displays from our collections. Engage with touchable objects, interactive cases, and digital collections to explore Kodiak history from when our historic building was created in 1808 to the present day.

We are excited to host a new temporary exhibit created by the Kodiak Maritime Museum, 50 Years of Limited Entry: The Closing of Alaska’s Salmon Commons.
This thought-provoking new exhibit by the Kodiak Maritime Museum will examine the conditions that spurred the creation of the Limited Entry Program, the effects it had on Alaska’s fishermen and fishing communities over the past half century, and recent proposals to address unintended consequences of the program.
Support for the project comes from a Maritime Heritage Grant administered by the National Park Service and Alaska Office of History and Archaeology, City of Kodiak, Kodiak Community Foundation, Kodiak CHARR, Kodiak History Museum, and individual supporters of the Kodiak Maritime Museum.
Our temporary exhibit gallery rotates approximately every 6 months. We are currently accepting proposals for future temporary exhibits. To learn more about our new temporary exhibit model, email our Curator at curator@kodiakhistorymuseum.org.
