Museum of Contemporary Religious Art (MOCRA)

Saint Louis University’s Museum of Contemporary Religious Art (MOCRA) is the first museum to bring an interfaith focus to contemporary art.

Through exhibitions, collections and educational programs, MOCRA highlights and explores the ways contemporary visual artists engage the religious and spiritual dimensions. MOCRA serves the diverse Saint Louis University community and the wider public by facilitating personal discovery, experience and inspiration while contributing to a wider culture of interfaith encounters and dialogue.
