Photo by Linda Butler Kids will enjoy the hands-on exhibit "Valiant Pioneer Children." Lots to see and do at the Museum of Church History and Art By Linda Butler The Museum of Church History and Art, in Salt Lake City, is more than a static collection of religious artifacts and art. The three-level 60,500 square-foot facility houses a huge variety of displays that bring insight into Latter-Day Saint life and history. Guided tours and a 40-minute audio tour (available in English and Spanish) give visitors an overview of the history of the Church. Visitors are also free to explore and discover the museum on their own. I recommend rec-ommend that families with children explore the museum together, on their own. Children can receive a free illustrated illus-trated pamphlet that will aid in their discovery of the museum and become a fun keepsake of their visit. The "Establishing Zion by Land and by Sea" exhibit presents a fascinating look into the life and times of early Utah immigrants. There are interesting displays of a pioneer handcart and covered wagon, but the scope of immigrant experiences stretches beyond overland travel. A replica of the ship, "Enoch Train" is an intriguing and beautifully crafted exhibit. A 15-minute video, "Passage to Zion" presents the story of an immigrant's immi-grant's travels in 1851. Kids can climb into a ship bunk like those on early emigrant emi-grant ships. An incredibly detailed model of Salt Lake City in 1870 is of interest to young and old alike. We enjoyed trying to compare com-pare various sites "then" and "now" and were amazed by the growth and spread of our capital city. Located outside the museum, on the plaza, is one of two surviving homes built in Utah in 1847. During warm weather, visitors can look inside to see what fron tier living quarters were like. One museum gallery displays beautiful beauti-ful American Indian art pottery, blankets, blan-kets, and baskets. Portrait galleries are filled with beautiful beau-tiful oil paintings of members of the LDS First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. A visit to the "Presidents of the Church" display shows the lives and times of the men who served as Presidents of the Church from 1830 to 1985 through portraits, personal belongings, belong-ings, and artifacts. A brand new exhibit on Nauvoo and the Nauvoo temple opened last week. Included in this exhibit is a replica of the Nauvoo temple. A special display, "Family and Faith: The Fabric of Latter-Day Saint Life" expresses the importance of family and faith through textiles and fabric art. A favorite area for youngsters, "Valiant Pioneer Children" is a hands-on exhibit that teaches about 19th-century pioneer life. Children can work in a pioneer pio-neer kitchen, card wool and weave, experience expe-rience a pioneer school and play various pioneer games. , ."Valiant Pioneer Children" and 'The Fabric of Latter-Day Saint Life" are changing exhibits, open through February 2, 2003. The Museum of Church History and Art is located at 45 N. West Temple St. just west of Temple Square. Public parking park-ing is available within a block of the museum.
