This isnt a bizarre coincidence.
All these figures were actually made to represent the stars they look like.
Except, they were wrong.
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."
The figures in the Last Supper scene were obtained from a Madame Tussauds museum in Arkansas.
The last scene, to their surprise, was the Ascension of Jesus Christ.
So he started looking for used figures.
The first set of figures were actually donated by another Bible Walk museum in Pennsylvania that was closing.
With these figures the pastor started the museum in 1983.
Additional figures were gradually acquired from various celebrity wax museum and added to BibleWalk.
Today, the museum is visited by 30,000 to 40,000 people from around the world each year.
