The Museum of Divine Statues opened April 10 in the former St. Hedwig’s Church in Lakewood. Its mission is to rescue, restore and display ecclesiastical statues in a reflective and respectful museum setting. The majority of the Catholic art on display, including 65+ statues represent Cleveland Catholic Diocese churches which were recently decommissioned. Visitors can get close to the artifacts and learn details about their history and the lives of the saints. The museum is open Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. and other days, by appointment only for groups and school field trips. Admission is $5 for adults $3.50 for children 12 and under. Senior citizens admission is $4 Special prices for groups and field trips.
