Frequently Asked Questions

Why Wasilla, Alaska?

Great Question! Our most frequently asked one! Our simple answer is, "Well it's got to be somewhere!" This exhibit, you're also correct, should be in places like LA, Chicago, or New York. One day it will be. This is the very first time anything of this magnitude has been attempted. The very thought that Newton, Galileo, Martin Luther and dinosaurs could co-exist in an open museum setting stirs the imagination. This intimate setting also allows us to listen to you the patron on the "likes" and "dislikes". Your feedback is very important to us.

What are the hours of operation?

We are open Monday thru Saturday 9am to (last entry at 7pm) 8pm. We are open Sunday from 12 to 5pm and last entry at 4pm.

Can you explain a little about what is to be expected from the moment I arrive?

There are 5 video monitors on the exhbit floor to help you connect the timeline. You don't have to see the videos but it is encouraged. There are over 100 items on display. There are museum curators available to give you guided tours at no extra cost.. This is a very popular feature and helps tie the whole exhibit together. We strongly encourage you to call ahead and reserve your private tour guide.

Who or what group owns the material?

Another great question. All the items on display are privately owned. You mean that an individual or individuals can own dinosaurs, Dead Sea Scroll fragments and ancient rare Bibles? Yes. An individual can.

Is the material really real?

Once again, another very popular question. Yes! Everything you see on display is real and as represented.

Is this a science exhibit or a religious exhibit?

Yes. The greatest debate in the history of man - is on display. "Religion vs Science" - does science provide the answers? Does the Bible? Does both? This exhibit is not designed to answer the question with a one-sided showing but both sides and encourage the patron to think about his or her position.

How do I get tickets?
