Museum

Alaskan Kayaks
While in the Museum of the North my eyes got caught on the Alaskan Kayaks.  What I got out of the exhibit was of the history behind the kayaks and the cultures that they belonged to, including the different types of Alaskan Kayaks.  One thing about the kayaks that I liked about them was the way that the museum kept them looking rustic and historical in the exhibit.  Another thing that I noticed was that the kayak had some pieces missing in it which made me think that this kayak was in a hunt of some sort.  The structure of the kayak to me looked like the Alaskan kayaks were really strong especially with the outside of the kayak to be covered with seal skin.  Inside the kayak at the museum it seemed to me that their was a lot of paddles just for one kayak, because I think that there was about six paddles, but these paddles in the kayak where made of wood and that they were long paddles about maybe six or eight foot long.  The kayak that they had on display in the museum had a tan color to it with no sits in the inside which made me think how did that hunt and where would they have put their weapons.  One thing that I noticed about the kayak is that it look like a modern canoe that we would use today. Overall I think the Museum of the North was an awesome Museum, it is the only museum hat I know that has a sound room.
