    Utah Museum of Natural History

    The Museum traces its beginnings to 1959 when the President of the University of Utah appointed a committee of faculty members representing disciplines sympathetic to the preservation of the state's natural history. Various academic departments held extensive, representative collections of anthropological, biological, and geological material dealing with Utah, the Colorado Plateau, and the Great Basin. It was the committee's aim to consolidate museum exhibits scattered around the campus in one location. In 1963, the committee successfully pressed for legislation establishing a state museum of natural history at the University of Utah.

    Hours: Monday-Saturday 9:30am-5:30pm, Sunday 12:00pm-5:00pm
