This unique museum explores the importance of religion in people's lives across the world and across time. The building， which stands on the site of the medieval Bishop's Castle， was opened in April 1993.
The aim of the museum is to promote understanding and respect between people of different faiths and none. Displays occupy three floors and are divided into four exhibition areas： the Gallery of Religious Art， the Gallery of Religious Life， the Scottish Gallery and a temporary exhibition space.
In the Gallery of Religious Art you can marvel at the world famous painting Christ of St John of The Cross by Salvador Dali and reflect on the awesome figure of the Hindu god Shiva， Lord of the Dance. 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. In this gallery 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.
