Glencairn Museum, Art museum and castle in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania.

The Glencairn Museum exhibits 8,000 artworks in a stone mansion with a nine-story granite tower and 90 rooms across ten floors.

Raymond Pitcairn, a Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company executive, built this Romanesque structure between 1928 and 1939 as his family residence.

The museum collection encompasses religious art from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, medieval Europe, along with Islamic, Asian, and Native American pieces.

Visitors can take guided tours Tuesday through Friday at scheduled times, while weekends allow self-guided access to specific museum areas.

The museum contains a complete replica of the Biblical tabernacle and features Early Medieval stained glass windows throughout its architecture.
