3500 Years of Art in Faith

An exhibition of 3,500 years of art and belief in Norfolk is being hosted this autumn at Norwich Castle Museum and a series of religious art events are taking place at various venues around the county. The Art of Faith exhibition runs from Saturday 2nd October 2010 - Sunday 23 January 2011. Religious faith has been the creative force behind works of art throughout history. Without it there would be no pyramids, no Sistine Chapel, and no Tian Tan Buddha. All of us, whatever our beliefs, owe much of our culture, art and history to the faiths of the past and present. The Art of Faith is an exploration of religious art and history from Norfolk’s many and diverse faiths; including the Viking and Roman settlers, through Judaism and Christianity, to the current population, which includes Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus and Pagans.
