This space really represents the farm, fishing industrial resource extraction and art community of Homer. I grew up in Homer on a homestead and I loved seeing the renovated displays at the Pratt. There are trails behind the museum to be enjoyed aswell!

Great little museum. The mammal specimens and geology exhibits were excellent. The kid section and some of the artwork were also worth admittance.

The Pratt Museum has Homer history, but always has additional shows! Summer 2021 includes In a Time of Change; Microbial Worlds, which is a mix of work by scientists and artists, showing the interties of all aspects of the world. A marvelous, thought provoking show!!

Just go. There is always a line outside and youll quickly understand why once youve tried their goods. I personally recommend the lemon twists.

Small.. Cheap.. Lots of information. Older lady at desk was very helpful and knew quiet a bit about the culture and history. It has local art from modern age people within the last few years and also stuff from tribes many years ago.. The back has animal info and a bird watching camera feed from bird island. Its worth going to once u hit homer to better appreciate ur surroundings

Fantastic exhibits on Homer History, Valdez Oil Spill, Bears, and Sea life. There is so much to see here that youll need at least an hour.Dont forget to visit the Pratt Homestead Cabin and Pratt Museum Forest Trails outside.

Nice history of area. Unfortunately visited at a time also frequented by a family with unsupervised children running amoke. Staff either unwilling or unable to control situation. So sad that it turned into a chaotic day care center.

A gem in downtown Homer. Though somewhat small, it is crammed with exhibits that provide an insight into the people who came to Alaska for a fresh start. Lots of interact areas with audio about the settlers, plan to spend a lot of time if you get hooked on one of the stories. We also enjoyed the videos in the basement area with the wildlife displays. A plus for my wife who is a quilter were a number of quilts around the building including one that was being raffled off.Outside is a example of a settler cabin including the out-building.A very nice option on any day but especially if you need to find an inside activity on inclement weather.

We really enjoyed this museum. We learned about the Kilcher family who appear on Alaska the Last Frontier. We also learned about animals as well as Alaskan natives way of life. So many things from floor to ceiling to look at :).

Truly interesting place to visit. Particularly, enjoyed the historic pioneer home. It was once owned by a women whose hospitality was quite generous to newcomers to Homer. We enjoyed this museum and the neighborhood surrounding it.

Exhibits were very uninspired. The $10 entrance fee goes toward ???? The garden out front is poorly labeled and the pocket guides provided do not reflect most of the plants you see. The guides show plants that are not even planted.
