Rome-based group opens new US museum dedicated to the Shroud of Turin

An interactive museum dedicated to the Shroud of Turin, which some say was Jesus’ burial cloth, opened its doors to the public at the Christ Cathedral campus in Southern California on Wednesday.

The California museum — covering 10,000 square feet (930 square meters) — contains a life-size laminated visual of the shroud stretched over a wall. It shows the faint image of a man with wounds similar to those of Christ.

“The Shroud of Turin: An Immersive Experience,” a $5-million exhibit in Garden Grove featuring 360-degree projection room theaters, Shroud of Turin replicas, interactive kiosks, and a life-size sculpture of Christ, was conceived over a span of three years and funded through private donations.
