A small museum full of great stuffs. Totally worth the visit if not only religion , but history is your thing. It is not as impartial as it should be on some subjects though.
This museum where you'll get to learn about different faiths and religions around the world such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc. Do not miss the beautiful Zen Garden .
The attraction is twofold: first, impressive art that blurs the lines between religion and culture; secondly, the opportunity to delve into different faiths , as deep or shallow as you wish.
The museum , set in a reconstruction of the bishop’s palace that once stood here in the cathedral forecourt, is an audacious attempt to capture the world’s major religions in an artistic nutshell.
There are three galleries , representing religion as art , religious life and, on the top floor, religion in Scotland. A Zen garden is outside.
Nice collection and free entry.
A huge amount of objects from all over the world

Great for a Quiet walk, just to get away from things for a while. And if you get there on a nice day, it's even better. - Adam Wilson
Really interesting museum with loads to see and do, all housed in a great building too! Won European museum of the year in 2013. - Tristan Comley
Ceilings & doorways are low, and rooms are sparsely furnished with period artefacts, except for an upstairs room which has been furnished to reflect the living space of an early-16th-century chaplain. - ドーラ
Amazing museum in the heart of Glasgow Green Park. Might not look all that big, but just as good as other museums in city and a lot to see - Clark Gillies
Fantastic new brewery, bottle shop and restaurant. Dozens of beers and great service. Outside terrace for when the sun shines. - Andrew
