Yes, the museum is open since the earthquake, and Christmas time is a great time to come to Alaska. This winter has actually been unusually warm and you are unlikely to see temperatures bellow 10 degrees Fahrenheit even in December is my bet. In fact, our precious snow keeps melting. But the weather is always nice in the museum, and even though the daylight hours are short you may get lucky and see some northern lights at night!
