The Anchorage Museum is expanding to the north with the addition of 25,000 square feet of new gallery space for the museum’s art collection and exploration of art of the north.

Construction timeline: February 2016〜September 2017.

Focus: This expansion is about more than bringing works from the collection out on public view. It’s also about creating a wonderful description for the north through the lens (镜头)of art and furthering the museum's mission of expanding awareness of the north, its landscape and cultures.

An expanded museum will:

•Provide greater public access to the museum’s art collection

•Create physical space for each kind of the museum’s mission—art, history, science, culture

•Tell the story of the north and Alaska through art that represents its landscape and people

•Create positive, engaging and relevant museum experiences

•Help museum visitors understand Alaska and the north through a variety of experiences

•Connect people and encourage global dialogue about the north and its different environment

Project partners: The $24 million expansion is funded entirely by private dollars, including $12 million gifts from both the Rasmuson family and the Rasmuson Foundation.

As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of the Independence. He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a result, he became famous.

Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.

Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.

Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.

Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bill which Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.

Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American Independence.

Dear dad,

You’re such busy every day that you don’t pay much attention to your health. I really worry about my health all the time. I’d like to give you some suggestion. As far as I’m concerned, walking is good sport. Your company was not far from our home. Why not walk to the office? You had better take exercise in least once a week, like playing tennis in the gym. Go to swim is also a nice choice. Besides, it’s necessary to have health food.

Try not to staying up too late. Having enough sleep can make your brain to work better.

Best wishes to you!

Your loving son,

Tom
