The Museum of World Religions opened in November 2001. It is the vision of Master Hsin-Tao (心道大師). He says he hopes "the museum is a first step in propagating the ideals of love and peace to all corners of the world that will enable every person in this time of discord and disturbance to rediscover the tranquility of their
inner spirit." The MWR has displays of artifacts and items related to ten major religions: Hinduism, Shinto, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism and two rotating displays dedicated to ancient religions and indigenous religions. Visiting the museum is an interactive experience and the museum uses the latest multi-media
technology. It is located on the 7th floor, No. 236, Zhongshan Road, Section 1 (6th and 7th floors of the Pacific Department Store) in the Taipei suburb of Yonghe (永和市中山路一段236號七樓). Take the MRT to Dingxi station (頂溪捷運站), then take buses 706, 297, 51, 243 or walk for about 15 minutes.
