Religious Community Heritage in Cardiff and Wales

Explore the rich, diverse religious communities that have shaped life in Cardiff and across Wales. This exhibition highlights the histories, traditions, and everyday experiences of a range of faith groups, including Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, and Paganism. Through objects and images visitors will encounter the different ways communities worship, celebrate, come together, and pass on their beliefs across generations. The exhibition reveals how faith is lived in homes, streets, and gathering places throughout Wales. By placing the Norwegian Church alongside other religious sites and communities, the exhibition situates it within the broader story of migration, belonging, and identity in modern Wales. Overall, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on both the distinctiveness and the shared values of Wales’s religious communities, and the role they continue to play in shaping Welsh society today.
