The Alaska State Museum was established in June 1900 and in June 2016 moved into the newly constructed Father Andrew P. Kashevaroff Building with the State Library and State Archives. The fine art feature in the 42-ft atrium and lobby is a 14-foot diameter textured glass Round titled “Glacial Pond”. Created by renowned Pacific Northwest glass artist Walter Gordinier, the multi-layered work contains a spectrum of colors reflective of Alaskan glacial pools and ice sheets.
