I am a middle school student. My name is Wang Jing. My grandfather is 70 years old now. He often says life has changed a lot. It becomes better and better. I asked him what life was like when he was a child. The following was what he said.

When he was a child, he used to feel hungry. There didn’t use to be enough food for him to eat. He has two brothers and two sisters. His parents were both farmers. They were very poor and couldn’t let their children eat as much as possible. As for clothes, they didn’t use to have enough clothes. They didn’t use to buy new clothes. The younger brothers and sisters often wore their old brothers’ and sisters’ clothes. My grandfather is the youngest. Only he went to school and had a job in the city. His brothers and sisters didn’t get an education and live in the countryside now.Now my grandfather has retired(退休) and lives a happy life. He can eat any food that he wants. He can buy clothes that he wants to buy. He says he is much happier than before. He often asks me to study hard. He says if I work hard, I can have a good future.

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.
