Precious Moments Museum

When I found out that Zach's parents were taking us to Carthage, I asked him if we could stop by the Precious Moments Museum, just for kicks & giggles. Zach replied, and I quote, "I"m not paying money to go to that place." Then, I found out it was free. So, after we finished our walk downtown with the family, Zach and I headed off to the "Midwest Mecca".

I still don't quite know what to say about it all, but here's what we saw:

As we walked to the entrance, a recording of a little kids' choir singing "Rise & shine & give God the glory, glory..." played over & over & over again (it was still going when we left).

Beautiful landscaping made our walk a very pleasant one.

There were incredibly large figures in the lobby area (these are some of the smaller ones).




Precious horn-blowers give the impression that you are walking towards something very big.



It felt just like being in Rome & walking towards the Vatican.



On the museum website, I learned that the artist modeled his chapel after the Sistine Chapel. Again, just like being in Rome.



In all seriousness, this was my favorite part of the grounds. However, it was inaccessible, so I had to get a picture from afar.

Average price of a Precious Moments figurine: $20
Our experience at the museum: Priceless
