To see all of the items kept here is so amazing. I am a convert to the church and I am forever grateful for our saints who sacrificed everything for us to have religious freedom.

As a member of the LDS Church, I found the Museum very interesting. The youth art display was particularly fascinating to me. How wonderful to see the spectacular entries. Beautiful! Also enjoyed and appreciated the section on the Prophets. I learned a lot!

We took our grandchildren to this exhibit. The bottom floor has a display of Church History and artifacts showing the movement west of the Latter Day Saints. The area our grandchildren enjoyed most was on the second floor. Everything was completely hands-on for them. They got to use large plastic blocks to build a temple, coloring stations, fishing from a... More

This is a unique place to visit, loaded with old furniture, religious painting and guides. Plan on 30 minutes to one hour without a guide.

I took my kids here and they loved it as much as I did. There is so much to see and so much history to learn about. I loved showing my kids the pioneer stuff, it helps them appreciate their lives.

I've been to Temple Square countless times, but only on my most recent trip did I find my way to the Church History Museum. The staff are very friendly and happy to help you find your way around. This museum helps to give perspective to where the church came from and the adversity it's overcome. I'm a member of the... More

The LDS church history museum has many interesting displays the explore Mormon history. We most recently visited the museum with our six children and they loved being able to get hands on with several displays. They had a great time in the children's area upstairs where they could dress up, play store, draw, create and watch videos. It was a... More

The Mormon pioneers played an important role in the settlement of the American West and in the development of the United States. This historical exhibit is well done and, I found, quite moving in its depiction of Mormon piety and their search for religious freedom, and their work to make the desert bloom in creating Salt Lake City and modern...
