St Mungo Museum Of Religious Life And Art

Opened in 1993, this unique museum, which stands on the site of a medieval Bishop's Castle, explores the importance of religion in people's lives across the world and through time. The museum’s aim is to promote interfaith understanding and respect. The gallery is illuminated with a wealth of colours by beautiful stained glass windows depicting Christian saints and prophets. The Gallery of Religious Life explores the world's six main religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. Here you can listen to people of all religions talk about their faith and meet the Mexican Day of the Dead skeleton, celebrating the victory of life over death. Take time out in the peaceful Japanese Zen garden.
