About
This detailed scale model offers a rare opportunity to see inside the Salt Lake Temple and understand what happens there. Because temples are considered houses of the Lord, once they are dedicated they are not open for public tours. This model presents a view of spaces that are normally unseen.
During a 12-minute presentation, sections of the model open to reveal rooms such as the baptistry, ordinance rooms, and assembly areas. An audio narration and uplifting music simply explain the purpose of temples. Many guests are surprised to discover that temples are not vast worship halls, but carefully designed spaces made up of many rooms, each serving a sacred purpose.
This presentation provides a meaningful foundation for exploring additional temple exhibits, especially the Inside a Temple Tour on the lower level, where guests can gain more context about temple worship.
