Join us on the ROMBus for a fascinating day of architectural transformations. How many times have you encountered a house of worship that is now a home, restaurant, or new house of faith? As communities grow and change, we see religious buildings repurposed to reflect new realities. On October 22nd, we visit three buildings that began life in one faith and have since been converted to serve a completely different religious community.

ROM curator emeritus, Corey Keeble joins us on our itinerary, which includes an Anglican church that has been transformed into a Hindu Temple for the country’s oldest Hindu community. Next, a Synagogue has metamorphosed into the magnificent St George’s Greek Orthodox Church through the artistic work of monks from Mt. Athos, Greece. Here we will enjoy a Greek lunch served in style. To round out our day, we visit another Anglican church that has been covered with magnificent icons and reborn as a Russian Orthodox church.

All day event starting at 9:00AM. For more information, go to ROM website here: https://www.rom.on.ca/en
