exhibits from Karpeles' collection a year, as well as exhibits from other collectors and around six art exhibits. The museum maintains the building's original features, many reflecting it status as a church. These features include large stained glass windows, an altar area, and upstairs gallery seating. There are also relics left behind by the building's former occupants, including a piano and a collection of books that the museum has turned into a sort of special library, allowing visitors to sit in a comfortable chair while reading. As previously owned by Christian Scientists, the books are mostly religious or medical in nature though there are also many classics. After 30 years, the museum is set to close in 2023.
