About
The State Museum of the History of Religion is a museum devoted to the world's religions and the ways they have shaped culture. It is also known as the Religion History Museum. The museum is housed in the former Kazan Cathedral building, so the setting is part of the visit itself.
The collections are broad in scope, covering several of the world's faiths and how their beliefs, traditions and practices have influenced art, daily life and society. For a visitor, it offers a way to look at religion as a human and cultural subject rather than only as a matter of worship.
Who it suits
- Visitors interested in comparative religion and world cultures
