Deseret Museum

Deseret Museum

The Deseret Museum was an institution dedicated to spreading knowledge[clarification needed] in Salt Lake City, Utah.

It was originally opened as the "Salt Lake City Museum and Menagerie" by John Willard Young.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bought the institution in 1871. It was then run by Joseph L. Barfoot. On his death he was succeeded by Guglielmo C. R. Sangiovanni. He was then succeeded by James E. Talmage in 1890. In 1911 the museum moved to a new home and Sterling B. Talmage became co-curator with his father. Later Sterling became the sole curator.

In 1919, the museum was taken over by the Temple Square Bureau of Information and ceased its existence as a separate institution.
