A religion-themed museum on Cathedral Square, showing art from many world faiths, with Britain's first Japanese dry landscape garden.
Opened in 1993, the museum focuses on the diversity of religious culture, displaying Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic and Christian art. Its courtyard holds the first permanent Japanese karesansui (dry landscape) garden in Britain. The top floor offers close-up views of the cathedral's façade. Admission is free.
