Glencairn Museum, Academy of the New Church

The idea of forming a museum for the Academy of the New Church came about in the first years of the school's existence. Today the mission of Glencairn Museum remains much the same as that of the old Academy Museum: to educate visitors about the history of religion, using art and artifacts from a variety of cultures and time periods. The galleries use the collections to illustrate the beliefs of many different religions, including Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman, Medieval Christian, Asian, and Native American. Recently an additional emphasis has been placed on expanding and exhibiting the Museum's collection of New Church art, comprised of works by Swedenborgian artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.
