Go around Anping Fort and Anping Tianhou Temple and, furthest to the west, Saint Lawrence Catholic Church(聖樂倫天主堂) in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tainan can be found. The museum is on the church’s 1st floor. Nearly 1,000 religious relics are exhibited periodically. They are mainly related to Catholic culture and ritual and include ritual-use items, sacred objects and classic texts, such as chalices, crucifixes, copes, monstrances, and relics (bones.) Many were left behind by missionaries over the past 100 years and tell the story of the history of Christian civilization and the church’s missionary work. It also houses religious artworks created by members of the congregation; they bear witness to the encounter with and acceptance of the Roman Catholic religion of the people of Anping.
