Exhibition on the multi-religious Sweden of today:

With the exhibition ”God has 99 names” Riksutställningar in collaboration with Sensus Studieförbund and museums throughout Sweden, succeeded in reaching a public that was unused to museums. ”God has 99 names” gave an account of the world's major religions by letting young people from different ethnic backgrounds present their creeds not only as theoretical knowledge but presented to all the senses. Riksutställningar thereby created a boundary–crossing project of serious importance that was conducive to ethnic integration.
