The New York Times recently pronounced St. Louis the home of a "vibrant arts scene." There is much to see and do in the city with respect to the visual arts, and many venues are within easy walking or driving distance of MOCRA.


MOCRA's mission

Saint Louis University’s Museum of Contemporary Religious Art (MOCRA) is the world’s first museum of interfaith contemporary art. Officially opened in 1993, MOCRA is dedicated to the ongoing dialogue between contemporary artists and the world’s faith traditions. Located in a spacious chapel that was used for over 35 years by Jesuits studying philosophy at Saint Louis University, MOCRA offers a unique setting for the display of its permanent collection and changing exhibitions. MOCRA’s exhibitions have demonstrated the range of contemporary religious artistic expression, presenting the work of artists of local, regional, and national stature.
