The New York Times published a feature on the Salt Lake Temple's reopening following a multiyear renovation, describing the landmark's newly accessible public spaces. The temple, closed since 2019, has been undergoing seismic upgrades and restoration.

The article focuses on the temple's open house, which allows non-members to tour the building before it is rededicated for religious use. The Church has emphasized transparency and public access during the open-house period.

The Salt Lake Temple is the most iconic building in Latter-day Saint worship and a major tourist landmark in Utah. Over one million people reserved tickets for the open house within 24 hours of reservations opening.
