The Museum of Russian Art

The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA) is a gem of the Twin Cities -- make a donation today to keep it shining! 

The TMORA Board has issued a $20,000 challenge match, so give today to have your donation matched by the Board challenge!

Now is the time to make your gift to support the illuminating exhibitions and scintillating programs at TMORA.  It’s no secret that museums have been negatively impacted by national events, which makes your local support more important than ever.

Even though TMORA is a small museum, its total economic impact in the community totals over $2.5 million annually. Part of this is due to the fact that over 60% of every gift goes to make certain that we are able to retain the talented and dedicated staff responsible for creating these cultural events that are so important to you and the community.

The Museum upholds an independent voice and the freedom of expression to carry out its mission unconstrained by influence from foreign governments, political actors and/or corporate or individual interests.
