Located in downtown Salt Lake City and the home court of the NBA Utah Jazz. The building originally opened as the Delta Center on Oct. 7, 1991. With seating capacity of about 20,000, the facility is the largest, most high-tech arena within a five-state radius and was built faster than any other arena at the time of its construction in 15 months and 24 days. The basketball court is named in honor of Larry H. Miller who spearheaded the construction of the building.

The building has played host to the 1993 NBA All-Star Weekend, two NBA Finals, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the 1999 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, as well as figure skating and short track speed skating events at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The arena has featured some of the biggest names in the music world with Garth Brooks, U2, Taylor Swift and The Rolling Stones among the largest concert draws in the arena’s history. Family-friendly events such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, Disney on Ice and Days of ’47 Rodeo also make annual appearances. The arena hosts about 1.8 million guests and more than 100 sports and entertainment events each year.

In the last five years, about $25 million has been injected into arena improvements. With an emphasis on enhancing the fan experience, upgrades have included an improved public address system, enlarged concourse entries with retail and food offerings, digital direction and concessions signage, the addition of the Legends Club, Fanzz stores and the expansion of the main team store, and numerous energy efficiency projects. The most significant improvement was a $15 million investment prior to the 2013-14 season for the installation of a new high definition video display system and other building infrastructure.

Current Exhibitions:

***Something from Everything***

Discover *Something From Everything*, an exhibition that celebrates the limitless possibilities of sculpture today. From everyday objects to unexpected materials, artists transform the familiar into something entirely new—inviting visitors to see how meaning shifts when items are reimagined, remade, and recontextualized. With works that spark curiosity, highlight play and process, and explore connections to history, memory, and culture, the exhibition shows how even the most ordinary materials can tell extraordinary stories. Families and visitors of all ages can experience the joy of experimentation and the power of creativity in this engaging exploration of sculpture.

**Elizabeth Malaska: 2025 Catherine Doctorow Prize for Contemporary Painting**

Enter the dreamlike world of Elizabeth Malaska, winner of the 2025 Catherine Doctorow Prize for Contemporary Painting. In her striking paintings, figures emerge, dissolve, and transform—moving between the everyday and the mythic, the ordinary and the uncanny. Drawing on traditions of Surrealism and magic realism, Malaska reimagines the body as fluid and multiple, revealing it as both vulnerable and powerful. Her work invites visitors to experience painting as a space of transformation, where ruptures open new possibilities and where tenderness and resistance coexist.

**William Cobbing: Inner Horizon**

*Inner Horizon* is the first U.S. solo exhibition by London-based artist William Cobbing, commissioned by the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. Through a multi-channel video installation filmed across Utah’s desert landscapes, Cobbing transforms the act of looking into a dialogue with the land. Wearing sculptural clay headpieces—one mirrored, one cave-like—he captures shifting skies, textured rock formations, and the passage of geologic time. The result is a meditative encounter where human perception and natural terrain blur together, inviting visitors to experience the landscape not as backdrop, but as collaborator.

**Kellie Bornhoft: Touchstone**

*Touchstone* invites visitors to reflect on the deep connection between the human body and the Earth itself. Artist Bornhoft embeds sixteen essential minerals—present in both our bodies and in the planet—into large resin panels shaped like slices of rock, echoing geological methods of revealing what lies within. Accompanied by video projections, poetic text, hand-drawn animations, and an immersive soundscape, the installation blurs the line between human and mineral, reminding us that our bodies are made of the same matter as the landscapes we inhabit.

**Al Denyer: Shifting Terrain; Mapping Place**

In *Shifting Terrain, Mapping Place*, artist Al Denyer explores how maps shape the way we picture and understand landscapes. Using the familiar lines of cartography alongside digital mapping glitches, Denyer transforms errors in technology into uncanny new terrains—warped hillsides, false rocks, and places that exist only on the screen. By blending the real and the imagined, her work invites visitors to reflect on how both precision and imperfection shape our sense of place and the stories we tell about the land.

The 1980 White Memorial Chapel is a reproduction of an earlier chapel belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The original was constructed in 1883 and stood on the site for ninety years. The reproduction is in the original Gothic revival style and incorporates a number of artifacts from the original chapel: the steeple, cornerstone, leaded glass windows and frames, doors, benches, pulpit, and interior woodwork were all preserved from the 1973 demolition and became part of the new building.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
