How to Get There

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, just west of Temple Square, is a look at the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with exhibits, rare artifacts, and interactive displays.

This immersive exhibit recreates Joseph Smith's First Vision in a cinematic experience.

Highlights include the original printing press used for the Book of Mormon, hands-on exhibits for children, and rotating art displays.
