Really good, comprehensive, multi-media presentation of the history from then till now! 45 min audio tour is helpful; other media available as you go through. Easy, accessible visit could take 10-20 mins, or I spent over 2 hours. Real artifacts, well - presented. More

The displays at the Church History Museum offers much to see and learn from whether you are a Mormon or not. Just be prepared to spend a while so you do not miss any of the many artifacts and history within it's walls. A marvelous place to visit over and over again. More

The LDS church holds an international art competition every 3 years. The exhibit of the winners runs until October, and it is breath-taking! The art is profoundly diverse, with styles and mediums of every variety. I am not an artist, but I could hardly make myself leave after visiting. The art is just stunningly beautiful! I is a MUST-NOT-MISS event! More

It was interesting, wasn't too big, and the materials were presented in a way that was very accessible to non-LDSers - in particular the chronological method of presenting the artifacts. The quilt exhibit that was going on at the time was also a plus. The volunteers at the Museum were very friendly, low-key... More
