The largest collection of papal and other artifacts outside of Rome will be in Minnesota this winter.
The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis has announced that the Vatican Unveiled exhibit will be at Mall of America from Jan. 10 through Feb. 1.
Organizers say it will be a 19,000 square foot exhibit that will feature hundreds of old-world artifacts and historical items from past popes, saints and the Swiss Guard.
The archdiocese says the event will celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Catholic Church in Minnesota.
While Pope Leo XIV isn’t expected to visit during the exhibit, the archdiocese notes he studied as a seminarian in the Twin Cities back in the 1980s.
More information on the exhibit will be shared closer to its start date.
A waitlist for tickets is available online.
