The Natural History Museum of Utah explores the state's landscapes, life, and human history from its foothill campus in Salt Lake City.

Exhibitions and the building's setting connect the indoor visit with the geology and environments that help shape Utah's identity.
Allow time to follow the exhibits and take in the views rather than treating the museum only as a gateway to nearby outdoor destinations. Temporary exhibitions and programs can affect the route or require additional planning. Check current admission, opening times, and accessible arrival information before visiting.
