Museum of the History of Religion

The Museum of the History of Religion is housed in one of Lviv's great old Baroque church buildings near the Dominican Church. Its collections trace Jewish and Christian history in the city and region, with icons, ritual objects, manuscripts, and printed religious books.

The museum is strongest for travellers who want Lviv's layered religious history to feel less abstract. The building itself is part of the visit, and the library collection includes rare Bibles and theological works from across Europe.
