Museum Of Religious Arts - Logan, Iowa

The purpose of the Museum of Religious Arts in Logan, Iowa is to preserve and exhibit religious arts, tradition and culture, fostering an appreciation of religious history for our enrichment and that of future generations.

King of Kings Display -

This exhibit includes life size, "one of a kind" wax figurines, built to portray nine Biblical scenes. Sculpted by Leone Chaney, this display found its first home at the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, FL in the late 1960’s. Thirty years later, the exhibit was restored and moved to its present location. The realistic figures depict events including the annunciation, the nativity, Palm Sunday, the last supper, the crucifixion and resurrection among others.

ArtAkiane -

The Museum is fortunate to have 30 reproductions of Akiane’s work on display, and many others are available for purchase.

Project Moses: Ten Commandments Display -

The display, on loan from Project Moses, stands over five feet - approximately 800 pounds, and showcases the ten commandments on a tablet engraved sand-colored marble straight from Mount Sinai.

Chapel -
The early southwestern-style mission chapel consists of pieces from a variety of sources - including area churches, and even a local barn. A quiet place for reflection.

Exhibit Hall -

The exhibit hall contains both permanent and rotating displays. Glass cases display rare artifacts, statues and relics. An adjacent library offers a wide array of publications as well as various films of spiritual and religious interests.
