Museum of History of Religion
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
The Museum of History of Religion is the only museum of this kind in Russia and one of the very few similar institutions worldwide. The permanent exhibition traces the formation and development of religion through art. While you are not likely to encounter a great masterpiece of art here, a theme-orientated approach to formation of a collection is untypical and perhaps more interesting than the classic one. The exhibits include historical and cultural artefacts of different countries, ages and nations, starting with 6th century BC. Archaic Rituals, Mythology of the Ancient World, Judaism, Early Christianity, Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam and Buddhism - these are the titles of the separate sections of the collection.
