Alaska Fur Exchange
Anchorage, AK
An Anchorage fur shop where animal mounts, fossils, mammoth ivory, carvings, jewelry, baskets, knives, jade, bone, and Alaska art crowd into the same wonderfully overloaded store.
Alaska Fur Exchange combines a working fur retailer with the feel of a natural-history cabinet and Alaska craft market, filling the shop with furs, fossils, ivory, antler, carvings, art, jewelry, knives, baskets, and mounted animals.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Fur store, fossil shop, carving gallery, jewelry counter, knife shop, Native-art retailer, and natural-history cabinet in one Anchorage storefront.
The entrance full of animal heads sets the tone before the mammoth ivory, fossils, antlers, baskets, masks, and handmade objects even begin.
The store deals in authentic furs and fur products alongside Alaska Native arts and crafts, mammoth and walrus ivory, fossils, bone, antlers, jade, gold, soapstone, handmade jewelry, baskets, masks, carvings, knives, and ulus. The animal heads in the entryway establish the natural-history-cabinet atmosphere immediately.
