The
Museum of Divine Statues, in Lakewood, OH, is only open on Sunday afternoons. We had brunch first at the Diner on Clifton, known for their macaroni and cheese (creamy!).
The Museum is located in the former St Hedwig Church, built in 1974.

The property includes a rectory and a school (1926). Lou McLung bought the property in 2010, as he needed more space for his company, Lusso Cosmetics, now housed in the former school building. As a make-up artist, he has found a hobby in restoring statues from the churches in the area that have been closed. The church has been nicely renovated to display the statues, along with other religious artifacts, and it opened in 2011. (McClung lives in the rectory!)
