The Last Supper. Last Supper Exhibit

It's an exhibit at the Southern Baptist Commission TV-Radio studio. You go in the east door and there's this life-size wax carving -- huge -- of the Last Supper scene. The host tells you how she brushes the statues' real human hair.

You have to be reverent but you can buy postcards of the wax Jesus and disciples. [Buck, 01/12/1999]

[RA: August 2006: The exhibit closed in 1997 and the figures went into storage. Plans have been underway for a Christian Arts Museum to display the sculptures in the arts district of Fort Worth. Though projected to open in late 2005, many deadlines have passed and the Museum is now projected to open in late 2008. Here's an old photo from its glory days in the Southern Baptist Convention building.]
