An evangelistic tourist attraction in Ohio, USA has found a new home for a number of discarded celebrity waxworks from Madame Tussauds and other museums.
Bible Walk has taken models of high profile figures such as Prince Phillip and Tom Cruise and repurposed them to tell Bible stories.
Visitors can now see the royal dressed as an angel (picture below) while the Mission Impossible actor has the star role as Jesus (picture above).
Other figures appearing at the museum include actors John Travolta and Elizabeth Taylor who can be seen in a scene depicting the story of Soloman and Prince Charles who's transformed into Abel, the Son of Adam and Eve.
But the owner Julia Mott-Hardin doesn't want visitors to come just for the celebrities and refuses to give tours to those coming just to see them.
She says she wants the museum, which attracts 40,000 visitors each year, to be one that glorifies God and his works.
Bible Walk has been open to visitors since 1983. Those wishing to look round pay around £5 for each of the five displays.
