From downtown Salt Lake City, walk or drive to West Temple Street and head north to the museum entrance across from Temple Square.

Overview

The Church History Museum offers a compelling journey through the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, featuring immersive exhibits, rare artifacts, and interactive displays. Located just west of Temple Square, the museum invites visitors to explore the faith’s origins, global growth, and cultural contributions. Highlights include the original printing press used for the Book of Mormon and the immersive “Heavens Are Opened” exhibit, which recreates Joseph Smith’s First Vision in a cinematic experience.

Designed for all ages, the museum includes hands-on exhibits for children, rotating art displays, and a museum store offering books, prints, and souvenirs. With free admission and a central location, it serves as a welcoming space for both members and curious visitors to learn about the Latter-day Saint experience through art, history, and storytelling.
