BRYN ATHYN CATHEDRAL

MUSEUMS & GALLERIES HEADER

GLENCAIRN MUSEUM

One of the most stunning exhibit spaces in all of Montgomery County (and perhaps all of Pennsylvania), Glencairn Museum is dedicated to religious art and artifacts. The museum's permanent collections cover a comprehensive range of ethnicities, artistic traditions, belief systems and creative expression. The Egyptian gallery, for example, covers gods, mythology and even mummy magic. Miniaturized dioramas bring the ancient world to life.
