The Church History Museum, formerly the Museum of Church History and Art, is the premier museum operated by the Church History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The museum has collections of art, artifacts, documents, photographs, tools, clothing, and furniture from the almost two-century history of the LDS Church.
