Museum of World Religions, Religious museum in Yonghe District, Taiwan
The Museum of World Religions in Yonghe presents ten major faith traditions through display galleries and collections. The exhibits feature scaled models of sacred buildings and authentic religious objects gathered from around the world.
A Buddhist monk founded the museum in 2001 to make different religions more accessible to the public. This creation was part of a broader effort to build understanding between believers of different traditions.
The museum displays religions as people practice them today, showing how different believers shape their spaces and use objects that matter to their daily faith.
The museum is easy to reach by public transport and well signposted for visitors. Plan enough time to explore the different sections at a comfortable pace.
The main hall contains detailed scale models of famous sacred sites from around the world. These replicas let visitors understand the architecture of these holy places without traveling to them in person.
