圣蒙哥宗教生活暨艺术博物馆

 　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.

　　这个特殊的博物馆探究了世界范围内以及长期以来宗教在人的生活中的重要作用。这个建筑，坐落在中世纪大主教的城堡里，于1993年4月开放。

　　博物馆的目的在于增进不同信仰人们和无信仰人们之间的理解和尊敬。展品共有三层，分为四个展区：宗教艺术画廊，宗教生活画廊，苏格兰画廊和当代展区。
