Utah Museum of Fine Arts

Housing a collection that includes 18,000 pieces and approximately 4,000 years' worth of artwork, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts contains numerous globally and locally relevant exhibits at any given time. In 2001, the museum relocated to the brand-new Marcia and John Price Museum Building, giving it 74,000 square feet of space in which to operate. Here you'll see paintings, photographs, and sculptures by contemporary local artists, as well as that by people long deceased, and from the other side of the world. The museum's collection embraces everything from Thai and Scottish art, to works by Pacific Islanders, ancient Greeks and Romans, and Native Americans. In addition to the displays, the museum keeps a busy schedule rich with lectures, shows, special events, tours, artist talks, and film screenings.
