 D.C.'s Papal Museum Wednesday, Apr. 6, 2005; 4:59 PM
Minutes from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Northeast Washington, the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center houses artifacts from
the Pope's life, including his personal vestments, shoes and the miter
he wore as archbishop of Krakow. Out of the three cities suggested to
house the center -- Rome, Krakow and Washington -- the Pope personally
picked Washington, explaining that the city is the crossroads of the
world.
