Faith

This online exhibition looks at Faith and how it is expressed in objects from our collections, in everything from conventional books and paintings to more curious objects like inkstands and ship models.

The theme coincided with 2004 being marked year of 'Faith in One City'. It was the second of a series of themed years celebrating Liverpool's unique culture, diverse religious communities, individual and personal beliefs and confidence in the city and its future.
