Restoration artist saves statues from closed Catholic churches for unusual museum | herald.com Cleveland, OH

Restoration artist works to restore statues from closed Catholic churches for unusual museum - news-herald.com:
"'I wanted to save the statues in the Cleveland Catholic churches that were being decommissioned,' he explained. 'People were baptized, married and confirmed in front of those statues and I thought it was important that they be saved.'

Last fall he bought a decommissioned Catholic church in which he's established the Museum of Divine Statues.

It officially opened April 10 after being blessed by Cleveland Catholic Diocese Bishop Richard Lennon."
