I was given a tour by Paul who has an amazing amount of local knowledge stored in his memory, and he's happy to share it. The museum is located in a wheelchair-accessible house and every room covers a different aspect of life in days gone by. They also offer research options for those who might have ancestors from that area as I do. If you live in the Salt Lake area and haven't visited here, gather up your kids and stop by. (Psst, there's also a huge play structure at the City park within a stone's throw of the museum.) The wonderful people who staff the museum are ready and willing to show you whatever bits of history you're most interested in! And if you go, please give my regards to my 4x great grandmother, Phoebe Draper, whose picture hangs on the wall.

We were looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon, and this was the perfect way to spend…read morea couple of hours. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The space was lively yet thoughtful, with families introducing children to art in an engaging way. As a big fan of Monet, I was happy to see pieces inspired by his work, capturing that soft, pastel, atmospheric beauty he was known for. The contemporary pieces also stood out, especially the interactive candy-wrapped installation--taking a piece was a unique and exciting experience. The American art collection was fascinating, with detailed descriptions providing insight into the dates, techniques, and materials used. The museum does a great job of enhancing the experience with QR codes on the walls, linking visitors to additional information about the pieces as they walk through. The setting itself is stunning--beautiful rooms with high ceilings and large windows offering views of the mountains surrounding the university. The diverse exhibits, including Egyptian, Pacific Asian, and Himalayan sections, were thoughtfully arranged, making the space easy to navigate. To top it all off, there's even a small coffee shop area with tables inside and out, perfect for continuing the conversation about the exhibits with friends or loved ones. I can easily see this as a great date option for an afternoon--relaxed, engaging, and with plenty to talk about. Overall, a beautifully curated museum in a breathtaking location--well worth a visit.

I think I was hoping for something a little more modern, a little more about contemporary culture…read morerather than civilizations in antiquity. That said, if you're an anthropologist, or play one on TV, this would be a cool place for you to visit. The museum is small, but has a decent amount of things on display. There are plaques and signs that explain the items, but they read more like a textbook and don't really capture my attention. It almost has a middle school science fair vibe to it-things on display with a lot of text next to it. Doesn't really tell a story or inspire the reader in a way that leaves an impression. Of all the museums I've been to (and I love museums), this one was pretty "meh." However, it's free, with easy parking onsite. That's something!

In the back is where all the magic happens. The main area is a student curated exhibit hall. Since it is newer, there is room for some major potential.

Plenty of free parking out front.

Entering through the gift shop, you can go forward into the exhibits OR turn left and grab a drink at the "museum bar". Is this really Utah? Perhaps it was because we held a private event here but it felt like it's always open. Excellent. After a drink, we went into the exhibit and had a spin through the first floor and then the basement where they had a great exhibit on the area's mining history and included a real jail from back when. Very interesting. If you're in town, this is definitely worth stopping in. Enjoy.

City Creek is also close by if you wanted to do some shopping beforehand. Theater itself is very clean. They do have a small concession stand.
