About Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts

The Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts holds a state-owned collection of contemporary folk art, which the museum describes as the only one of its kind in the country. The objects come from Utah artists across American Indian, rural, occupational, and ethnic communities. The collection was established in 1976 and includes more than 450 pieces such as paintings, sculptures, textiles, woodcarving, metalwork, saddles, and beadwork. The Chase Home itself dates from the 19th century and was built from adobe in a traditional hall-and-parlor style. Visitors can see rotating exhibitions, permanent galleries, workshops, guided tours, and seasonal family events. The museum is located in the center of Liberty Park.
