Temporary Gallery
Summer 2026 to Spring 2027 — “The Past is Personal”: This exhibit urges visitors to consider their role in our nation's history as we mark 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Explore concepts of commemoration and community through the lenses of remembering and perspective, and make connections to both the past, and the people around you. Drawing upon the Utah Historical Society's semiquincentennial project, the Peoples of Utah Revisited, this exhibit broadens the lens on Utah's history and shares the stories of the past through the present.
While our galleries will not open to the public until June 27, our Museum Store and Guest Experience desk are open. The Museum Store features a carefully curated collection of artisan goods, books, and other gifts for every age – inspired by exhibit content, Utah’s landscapes and history.
