A VATICAN EXHIBIT coming to Cleveland sounds as though it will have some interesting items:
Vatican Splendors Exhibit Coming To Cleveland by Dan Martin
[WYTV, OH]
More than 200 items from the Vatican Museums, Saint Peter's Basilica and the Swiss Guard will soon be on display at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland. A venue large enough to house 2,000 years of history, culture and tradition, some of which has never been seen outside of Rome-- until now.

"They'll see one of the earliest known images of Jesus, we have a sculpture from the great artist Bernini, an Old Testament story of Daniel in the lion's den, it's a clay model, you can actually still see the thumb print of the artist himself.", says Mark Greenberg, President of Evergreen Exhibitions.

"If you're an art lover, there will be something there for you, if you're a lover of history, you'll see some of the early atlases of North America, Aramaic Bibles, things from cultures from far and wide that the Vatican has visited.", says Greenberg.
