UTAH'S FIRST STATE HISTORY MUSEUM
As Utah’s first state history museum, the Museum of Utah celebrates our unique history, culture, and art through world class exhibits, programming, and community spaces. The Museum of Utah is an extension of the Utah Historical Society, fostering curiosity about the past, informing the present, and strengthening our shared future. Housed inside the new North Capitol Building, the Museum of Utah serves as a gateway to the Capitol Complex, engaging visitors as they explore Utah’s past and consider their place in shaping Utah’s future.
The Museum of Utah is free admission, open daily.
Notice: Item donations are not currently being accepted. Please do not bring, or mail, item donations to the Museum of Utah at this time. This allows us to focus on the care and preservation of materials already in our stewardship and to prepare objects from our collections for exhibitions. We will reopen our process when we are ready to consider new donations. Thank you for understanding.

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.
