About Us

The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA), an independent American organization, promotes understanding of the art, people, and culture of Muscovite Russia, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and its former republics through outstanding exhibitions, cultural presentations, and educational programs serving the people of Minnesota and the nation. TMORA presents eight or more exhibitions each year, with items from its permanent collection of over thirteen thousand works and with art from major collections in the U.S. and abroad. The Museum enhances its exhibitions by presenting subject specific lectures, seminars, concerts, and other unique events, which include independent scholars who share their expertise with the TMORA audience. Housed in a beautifully renovated historic building, the Museum’s multi-level galleries provide a tranquil and intimate setting for its dynamic array of exhibitions and programs. The Museum's gift shop, TMORA Shop, is not to be missed!
