Moab Museum

Visitors will find a brighter, more spacious exhibit space at Moab Museum, which reopened to the public on June 1 after being closed for nearly three years – first for renovations, then because of the pandemic.

The stairwell that used to be in the center of the room was removed, creating a larger display area on the first floor. The second floor is now used for staff offices and also houses the research library. Pegboards have been installed on the museum’s back walls where temporary exhibits are displayed, as well as a place for notes for visitor comments.

The museum’s current temporary exhibit “The Transcontinental Railroad” comprises two collections from the Utah Division of Arts and Museums – “A World Transformed: The Transcontinental Railroad in Utah,” and “Through Toil and Labor: The Forgotten History of Utah’s Chinese Railroad Workers.”
