New exhibit showcases humor in Alaska ‘Tricksters and Sourdoughs’
Exhibit on Alaskan humor
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Alaskans face many challenges: deep snow, frigid temperatures, angry moose — it could all be overwhelming if we didn’t take the time to find the humor in our situation.
That’s what a new exhibit at the Anchorage Museum is highlighting.
“Tricksters & Sourdoughs - Humor and Identity in Alaska” looks at how Alaskans find humor in some of the worst circumstances.
There is Indigenous humor (like traditional dolls sitting on Honey Buckets), frontier humor (like a postcard from 1909 that makes fun of the weather), and even tourism humor (like moose nugget swizzle sticks).
The exhibit runs through October 2026.
When life hands Alaskans frozen lemons, we’ll probably use them as hockey pucks!
