VIDEO: Salt Lake Temple Time Capsule Opened

A few dozen construction workers removed the circular granite capstone of the Salt Lake Temple, along with its time capsule contents on May 18, 2020. This was done for preservation and refurbishing during the temple’s seismic upgrade that began in January 2020. Two days after the capstone’s removal from the temple, the First Presidency joined a small group in the loading dock of the Church History Library to witness the initial opening of the time capsule.
