The Museum of Divine Statues has opened to the public. Following a formal blessing of the facility by Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon in the former St. Hedwig Church at 12903 Madison Avenue in Lakewood, the museum opened to the public on Sunday, April 10, 2011.
Visiting hours are Sundays, noon to 5:00 p.m. Free parking is available on the grounds. There is a small fee for entrance.
Founded by restoration artist Louis McClung; he rescues, restores, and displays ecclesiastical statues in a reflective and reverential setting.
Visitors will have the opportunity to learn details about each statue’s history and the symbols depicted. Some of these statutes were obtained from recently closed parishes in the Diocese of Cleveland. Although in disrepair, artist McClung has used his extraordinary talents to restore them to their original form and beauty.
