Interesting displays about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints including some original artifacts in protective cases and a 180 degree movie. Very friendly volunteers. Some interactive experiences for young kids about temples. Currently has a display of art from winners of a recent competition. Also a souvenir shop. Worth visiting.

I was very impressed with the Church History Museum. I am learning the history of the Mormon faith and the museum really is Helping put the pieces together. I was fortunate enough to have a team of Missionary Sisters guide me through the multistory display. But the highlight of my tour was the art display put together by gathering youth artworks from all over the world 🌎. Very good and creative. Don’t miss it. One final piece of advice, it is good to have a Missionary team with you rather than being alone to insist on a picture of you giving an amazing talk at the conference 😃

I was delighted to see what is still preserved from the first members and pioneers, wonderful.

Great experiences for the whole family. Learn about Church history, and even take the kids to the kid area to play.

Questions & Answers

Can I just turn up or do I have to make an appointmet

Sandra Pattison | Oct 1, 2018
Brittany Bowers | Oct 1, 2018

You don't need an appointment. But I would check to see what time they open and close so you give yourself enough time to wander through the exhibits. You could easily spend 3+ hours there.

How can I research a local artist. I have 2 signed copies of Jesus in America that were given to me by a neighbor in approx. late 1984 or early 1985 by Dorothy Handley (the artist). She has passed away and I can't locate her son.

Sue Harward | Oct 1, 2019

Try googling LDS paintings of Christ in America to identify the artist.

Are the seer stones on display Joseph's real seer stones?

No

Why is it closed on Sunday when everything else at temple square and the family history center is open? It used to be open on Sundays with only the store inside being closed on Sunday.

Jill Marchbanks | Oct 1, 2018

I imagine it's to give all the service missionaries and staff the day to go to church and honor the sabbath. The Church History Library, Family History Library, FamilySearch Center, Church Office Building, Church History Museum and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building are all closed on Sunday.
