Salt Lake City (August 2021) — As business and leisure travel continues to climb in 2021, Salt Lake City is seeing an increase of national and regional visitors looking for a taste of our capital city’s diverse cultures, cuisines and landscapes.

An architectural gem nestled into the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, the Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU) blends seamlessly into the natural environment that surrounds it. Home to over 1.6 million objects and specimens, NHMU’s collections emphasize the natural history of Utah. This state-of-the-art museum features permanent and touring exhibits that are engaging for all ages and abilities. The museum is currently hosting Egypt: The Time of Pharaohs, featuring more than 350 original artifacts including some that are more than 4,500 years old. Utah is one of the world’s richest areas for dinosaur-fossil discovery, and the museum’s impressive exhibit of dinosaurs and other extinct animals make it a must-stop for visitors and residents alike.
