Thats impossible.
When matter and antimatter interact, they destroy each other and release energy. Antimatter does not exist on Earth, the Solar System, or the Milky Way Galaxy, as there is positive matter everywhere, even in the vacuum of space, that would destroy it. Its possible that there are antimatter galaxies out there, but likewise they would have no positive matter in them. However, I highly doubt there are antimattter galaxies because we see galaxies colliding throughout the entire universe and they all display the behavior of positive matter (or atleast the same type of matter). If a positive matter and antimatter galaxy collided, it would be a sight to see...
The only way antimatter can exist here is through human creation and an artificial method of keeping it seperate from positive matter, such as a magnetic field. We can then study antimatter for its physical properties or use it for energy storage (to be used in an engine, weapon, what have you).
