Skagway City Museum

As my trip nears its end, I have been scrambling to visit all of the places I haven't seen yet. Sunday I visited the Skagway City Museum, which featured a great mosaic of gold-rush era artifacts, Tlingit art and artifacts, WWII exhibits, and a collection of contemporary art from Alaskan artists.

What caught my eye most was this stuffed grizzly. The placard under this beast read "When brown bears stand on their hind legs, they are often in a curious mood." Why then, is this bear positioned to give children nightmares, if it's just being playful?!
