Mansfield, Ohio: Biblewalk and Living Bible Museum

The Living Bible Museum is, to put it mildly, growing -- all the better for weary pilgrims in search of spiritual revelations in wax. In addition to increasing the size of the New and Old Testament Tours, they have added a third tour -- this time of Christian Catacombs...of DOOM! An upcoming tour of wax saints means that The Living Bible Museum is well on it's way to securing a name for itself as the Smithsonian of Religious Wax figures museums.

It must be said that the wonderful people at the LBM are extremely sincere and you'd do best to keep your ironic detachment in check. A little surprised to see a 21 and 22 year old couple dressed in 'trendy New York clothes,' the cashier lady asked us how we heard about LBM. When we showed her The New Roadside America she became excited, but we refused to let her read the review, since we didn't want to break her heart. Instead, she gave us a behind-the-scenes tour of a new diorama, telling us how 'God inspired the artist to choose this fake plastic dove over a fake plastic cardinal.'
