Renovated Manti Temple, preserved Minerva Teichert murals ready for 3-week public open house
For a century, water seeped into and damaged the pioneer-era Manti Utah Temple’s walls and the plaster under the historic temple’s cherished murals by masters like Minerva Teichert and C.C.A. Christensen.
The damage extended to the murals themselves. Now, that threat is gone, a church historian said after a tour for journalists Monday morning at the third-oldest temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
After a 29-month renovation that included intense water mitigation as well as restoration and preservation work, the church is ready to welcome the public over the next three weeks to the first open house at the Manti Temple since 1985.
A pair of International Olympic Committee officials heaped praise on Salt Lake City’s bid for the 2034 Winter Games during a briefing Monday about their scheduled visit to Utah in April, saying the city that’s already been named the preferred host “offers it all.”
Christophe Dubi, the IOC’s Olympic Games executive director, recalled the success of the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City at the start of the media call about the Future Host Commission’s upcoming trip that will help determine whether Utah’s bid advances to a final vote in July.
“You know that punchline, ‘We’ll be back?’ That’s probably what we all thought in 2002 when leaving Salt Lake City. It was such a great experience for the entire Olympic family that many promised that the city ... would host the Games again,” Dubi said, adding that “we’re not there yet” but “we are progressing extremely well.”
