The Museum of Russian Art's (TMORA) mission is: education, enlightenment, and engagement through the art of Russia. TMORA is the only major institution in North America devoted exclusively to Russian arts and culture. A core philosophy of TMORA's work is cultural diplomacy---creating personal connections across borders through the medium of art.
