YouTubeI just took a tour of one of the best kept secrets in Columbus. There is a pretty damn impressive museum right here in Franklinton! It's called the Jubilee Museum & Catholic Culture Center. According to their literature the place is largest museum of "diversified Catholic artwork" in the United States! It's housed in the old 3-story school building at 57 Grubb and is owned and run by Holy Family Church on West Broad. You've seen the place 100 times-it's right there on the east side of 315 near the Broad Street underpass. They have artifacts, or relics(?) more than 400 years old.
Tours are free but by appointment.

Wow ... can honestly say I'd never heard of this. And I'm Catholic. :-\I used to live on Grubb at one time and did not even realize it was there.I always assumed that the building was just boarded up like bellows ave school and I have always wondered what it was. Now I know
I will have to plan a trip to this.
My dad is also Catholic and attended at the Holy Family Still can't believe I did not know that was there.Posted 3 years ago # -

That's extremely random. Clearly they need to up their advertising budget.

i've known they were there for a while. until today i really thought they wanted to below radar. perhaps for security. there are several rooms full of some very old very well preserved stuff from all over the world.

And to think that I laughed when Manatee said she was dreaming about a museum in Franklinton:

world class religion and science museums at opposite ends of east franklinton. one edged in by a river, the other, a freeway. nature is balanced by the man made, and religion by science... a new neighborhood about to emerge. 21st century american urban ch'i. eh? eh? anyone else feel a haiku coming on?
