Join us at the Museum of Edinburgh for Four Seasons in Faith, an exhibition that celebrates the rich diversity of faiths across our city. Dive into the traditions, celebrations, and stories that shape Edinburgh’s spiritual landscape throughout the changing seasons.
Inspired by our "Keep the Faith" project, this exhibition was created in collaboration with members of Edinburgh’s faith communities, resulting in a collection that authentically reflects their unique practices and traditions. Guided by community curators from a variety of faith backgrounds, we bring to life a series of objects and artefacts that share the stories of Edinburgh’s vibrant faith communities.
Explore items donated and loaned by practitioners of major world religions, each adding to a compelling narrative of how people live and express their faith here in Edinburgh. Discover how traditions are celebrated, lives are shaped, and communities are strengthened by faith, season after season.
This project is delivered in partnership with the Edinburgh Interfaith Association and has been made possible through a generous grant from Museums and Galleries Scotland.
