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 and Guglielmo Giosue Rosetti Sangiovanni in 1869.^[1]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bought the institution in 1871. It was then run by Joseph L. Barfoot. In 1890, James E. Talmage became curator. When the museum moved to a new location in 1911, 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.
