Angel Museum
The Angel Museum in Beloit, Wisconsin, claims to have 6,000 figurines of angels, with 6,000 more at the home of the museum's collector, Joyce Berg. The museum is housed in the landmark former St. Paul's Catholic Church, which the museum saved from demolition and for which the city charges it an annual rent of $1.〔
==Description==
The building retains its "impressive" stained glass windows〔 and two concrete angels weighing each stand in front. It claims to have the largest private collection of angel figurines; Berg's collection, numbering over 13,600, was certified by the ''Guinness Book of World Records'' in 2001.〔 For special visits to the museum, Berg sometimes wears an angel costume including cherub socks, angel earrings, a halo and wings.〔〔
The museum is notable also for the Black Angel Collection, more than 1,000 donated by Oprah Winfrey; Winfrey had asked in 1998 on her television show why there were no black angels, after which she was sent angel figurines from all over the country, which she donated to the Angel Museum. Others have also donated angels to the museum; , more than 1,000, some as memorials.〔 The angels are from more than 60 countries and range in size from thimble dimensions to more than tall. In addition to porcelain, glass, copper, and acrylic, materials include lambskin, corn husks, tree roots, and spaghetti.〔
