    Incredible museum housing artifacts from different sanctuaries around the world. You'll need about an hour, and the cost is $12. Check their hours before heading over. Free off street parking (to the right of the building). Worth a stop!

    This museum was formerly a Catholic Church that was closed by the Diocese of Cleveland in 2009. My uncle, Fr John Bryk, was pastor from 1974-2007. The owner of this museum is unbelievably talented. There is an overwhelming sense of peace in this beautiful place. The care and commitment of the owner to restore these beautiful statues to their original angelic state is a something that cannot be put into words. Take the time to visit. If you can’t make a visit, consider a donation. It is all worth it and more.

    This is more than a Museum for Divine Statues it is a work of art created by a very talented Lou McClung. His passion for detail and his artistic vision are evident in this beautiful, creative re-use of St. Hedwig's Church. Beautiful...a must to visit!

    A relatively small old church turned into a beautifully done museum packed with stained glass, statures in both plaster and marble, relics and other religious artifacts. The presentation, organization and information available rivals the big museums. Should be a worthwhile trip from both a religious and artistic standpoint

    This is a beautiful sanctuary! The statues are gorgeous, and at the same time so sad when viewing all of them. A must see road trip. I highly recommend!!

    My family & I went here & it was spiritually inspiring..there's a 10 dollar admission fee, well worth it & was told $ used for restoring statues. Also, bought some souvenirs from museum & was ecstatic to see a St. Barbara statue πŸ˜‡

    You don't need to be Catholic to appreciate the beauty and detail of the statues . As a bonus , you can scan a QR to read about each piece . Peaceful visit.

    Beautiful gem in hiding in plain sight! I only found this place because I was searching for indoor winter activities. This was an amazing collection of religious statues and relics. The music soundtrack they had placing really set the ambience. I could even see myself coming back just to sit in peace and meditate!

    Really beautiful place. Looks bigger for me in real.They have a great selection of religious statues with a lot of information about them. Me and family enjoyed the time there. They have a small gift shop too! The only thing that I didn’t know about is that they have a admission fee.

    What a great experience! It is so nice to see that these statues, relics, paintings, and stain glass windows can still be viewed after our churches closed down. Thank you!
