The Museum of Biblical Art (MOBIA) interprets art through the lens of biblical religions to bring to the public an understanding of religion through its artistic manifestations. Exhibitions and programs present biblical art within the context of history and social life, integrating art and cultural history, religious studies and theology.
MOBIA organizes temporary exhibitions revealing the diversity of art inspired by the Bible through the centuries, including various media (painting, sculpture, graphic arts, mixed media and new media), styles, artistic movements and schools. MOBIA uses an integrated approach to set Biblical art and the religious traditions that fostered it within the context of history and social life.
Admission is free on Sundays, 12-6 pm.
