The Mother Teresa Exhibition Hall opened its doors to the public Wednesday, April 2, providing a unique look at the life of the beloved founder of the Missionaries of Charity.

The 3,000-square-foot museum in the Ave Maria town center has dozens of panels that tell the life story of Mother Teresa and also has many personal articles, including letters and a crucifix from her own rosary.

It's the only exhibit of its kind in the United States, and is open during the AMU academic year Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 

Student guides, many of who are working to become Mother Teresa Scholars, help visitors enjoy the museum experience.

The museum is on the northeast corner of Annunciation Circle and Ave Maria Blvd. For more information about the museum and tours, call 239-280-2576.
