It must be Spring! At the end of April, Museum staff journeyed across the thankfully calm waters of Kachemak Bay to install the seasonal camera on Gull Island. We also took the opportunity to replace the batteries, re-position (and clean) the solar panels, and upgrade microphones, which should all make for better quality and consistency throughout the summer. The camera is operated by joystick in the Pratt Museum’s Marine Gallery, so if you’d like to “drive,” come on by! If you can’t make it, enjoy this live stream!
A big “Thank You” to all who turned out on August 13 for the Pratt’s Trail Party – the newest section of Pratt Museum trails looks fantastic! If you haven’t already, come check out the Woodard Creek additions, including a relaxing creekside path and access to Pioneer Avenue. Look for the forthcoming signs at the Pioneer entrance.The Pratt Museum seeks an energetic, creative, and compassionate professional to lead our award-winning museum of culture, science, and art.
