“We feel privileged to be home to one of the Spark!Lab satellite locations. The ideas behind it are a good fit with the ideas we explore in the museum related to the North – how extreme environments support adaptation, invention, and creative problem-solving.”

– Julie Decker, Director and CEO of the Anchorage Museum
