- Museum of Church History and Art
Museum of Church History and Art is the premier museum operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is opposite the west gates of the church's Temple Square.
The museum contains collections of art, artifacts, documents, photographs, tools, clothing and furniture from the almost two-century history of the LDS Church. It was dedicated and opened on April 4, 1984. A major instigator of the creation of the church museum was Florence S. Jacobsen, a church curator and a former general president of the Young Women organization of the church.
The Museum of Church History and Art is open seven days a week. Admittance is free.
