Dinosaurs, geology, plants and people of the region at the University of Utah's museum above the valley.
The museum is part of the University of Utah and is housed in the Rio Tinto Center, a building on the foothills overlooking the Salt Lake Valley. Its exhibits cover dinosaurs, geology, plants and animals, and the people of the region.
It is also a research museum, with scientific collections and work in paleontology, archaeology, botany and other fields beyond what is in the galleries. Temporary exhibitions and public programs change through the year.
