The Beacon A world famous collection of lithophanes, including the Sistine Madonna Meissens (above), has moved from its long-time home in Toledo to the Schedel Arboretum & Gardens in Elmore. The Blair Museum of Lithophanes is now a permanent exhibit in the 1881 Schedel Manor House. The Blair Museum of Lithophanes opened this week at the Schedel Arboretum & Gardens in Elmore, a world famous collection that has become a permanent attraction at the beautiful arboretum along the banks of the Portage River in western Ottawa County. An agreement to bring the fabled Blair Museum of Lithophanes to Schedel Arboretum has been in the works since late 2019, between the City of Toledo, The Friends of the Blair and Schedel Gardens. Ownership of the world’s largest collection of lithophanes, including some 2,300 pieces, was transferred from the city to the Schedel Foundation and will be a permanent exhibit in the newly-renovated 1881 Schedel Manor House.
