Dear God...
“Hardly anyone can ever find God because God is right at the end of your mind after all the background thoughts are gone.”

Birmingham Museums Trust
Faith Gallery

Our Project:

Birmingham is one of the most diverse cities in Europe. Over 70% of the city’s population claim adherence to a religion. Faiths represented in the city include Bahá’ism, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Rastafarianism, Sikhism and many more. Visitors have told us they want to explore faith and Birmingham’s collection contains many objects of religious significance. The city is well placed to promote understanding and respect between people of all faiths, and of none. Faith in Birmingham is a three year project to create a gallery that represents and reflects the faith practice of people across the city. Now open, the gallery is an evolving landscape allowing new religions and communities to be represented through regularly changing displays.
