Amazing and beautiful!
The museum is housed in an old former Catholic high school which shares space especially with a soup kitchen which is in the basement. There is no clear sign that this building houses the museum, but follow door signs posted because it is a little confusing. If you are fascinated by Catholic liturgical art and artifacts, this personally toured trip is for you! The guides are very knowledgeable and they can answer any questions you may have. Please donate to their causes because they are doing much to save religious art an artifacts from all over the world. The neighborhood is very rundown, so be safe when you come visit.

Wonderful Experience, wish the facility was larger so they could display more of their collection
My Friend and I made the 3 hour trip from Pittsburgh, PA to Columbus, OH and it was WELL WORTH THE TRIP. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The galleries are a little small, but they had a lot in the museum and very well laid out for viewing. I was amazed that what they have on display is only 10%!!!!! I can't wait until they have a larger facility to display the remaining 90% of their artifacts. They had beautiful artwork, Stained glass, Medieval bibles, Even some Coptic transcripts from Africa! They had so much to see! Wonderful Wonderful displays. Well worth the trip! No matter where you are from :) :) :) : )!!!!
