Discarded Celebrity Wax Statues Populate this Creepy/Fabulous Biblical Museum in Ohio

Over 300 wax statues of random celebrities (God bless ’em) are posed to recreate Biblical scenes at the BibleWalk museum in Mansfield, Ohio. Included: Prince Philip (as an angel), Tom Cruise (as Jesus), Elizabeth Taylor (in her Cleopatra drag), John Travolta (as King Solomon), Steve McQueen (as a nonspecific shepherd), Prince Charles, George Harrison, and… James Woods?

From Patheos:

The museum, if we must call it that, hosts five tours with recycled wax statues (acquired from closed museums across the U.S.) depicting scenes from the Bible — The Life of Christ, Miracles of the Old Testament, Museum of Christian Martyrs, Heart of the Reformation, and Amazing Grace. For $27, you can take one big 3.5-hour tour, which seems tortuously long, but considering Christ died for your sins, you can suck it up.

One thing is clear: the casting of actual historical figures is no joke to the museum director, Julia Mott-Hardin. If you imply you’re visiting for any reason other than to glorify God, NO TOUR FOR YOU.

“I’ve had calls from people who wanted to take the tour, but only if I accompanied them pointing out the celebrities. I refused. The museum is about glorifying God and his works. That’s what we want to achieve. I just don’t want to take any of the glory away from God. That’s the most important aspect of BibleWalk, God’s glory.”
