On the first friday of every month, the Anchorage Museum presents its First Friday event from 6pm to 9pm. Visitors get to enjoy the regular museum gallery exhibits as well as live music and a guided planetarium show. For the first First Friday event of 2012 (January 6th), kids of all ages can enjoy live jazz music by Melissa Bledsoe Fischer as well as a fun, updated version of live elevator music by the Carhartt Brothers. All of this is absolutely free. Local artist Michael Conti will be discussing his photographic work and how he uses pictures to tell the story of life in Alaska.
For an additional fee, enjoy the Dark Side of the Moon. Set to Pink Floyd’s classic rock music, this light show takes you places you are sure to have never been before. There is some adult subject matter involved, so you may want to keep the kids away. Another exhibit offered for an additional fee is the Led Zeppelin Cosmic Light Show, which also carries an adult subject matter audience advisory. The planetarium’s screen brings 3D imagery to life set to some of Led Zeppelin’s classic rock music. Finally, take a tour of the stars with the Guided Star Show, also available for an additional fee but suitable for all ages. Click here to purchase your tickets to any of these special shows.
While the music and showcased artist may change every month, Anchorage Museum’s First Fridays remain an interesting way for you to spend a Friday evening in Alaska. General admission is free as is the music and artist presentation. Additional fees are required to attend the Guided Star Show, Led Zeppelin Cosmic Light Show and Dark Side of the Moon spectacular. There’s always something interesting to do here in Anchorage.
