LDS Conference Center

Salt Lake City, UT

She Will Find What Is Lost is part of the LDS Church's collection of religious works on display in their Conference Center on Temple Square (60 West North Temple).  While many are familiar with digital reproductions of this piece, the lively texture of oil paint and the large scale of the original is often surprising to visitors, offering another rich layer of experience with this image.  The public can view works daily between the hours of 9a-9p, but because the Conference Center occasionally closes to the public for events, it's recommended that groups schedule a tour.  801-240-4931
