I have visited before our Ten Toe group excursion, and it is a beautiful museum. SLU is not only my alumni, but the museum is a wonderful attraction for visitors as well as residents of the city to enjoy.
MOCRA is a one-of-a-kind art museum found on SLU's campus. My sister and I visited on a Friday morning into early afternoon to view their Vicente Telles and Brandon Maldonado: Cuentos Nuevomexicanos and the permanent exhibitions. The pieces were very moving, the hall well-lit and partitioned, and the curator kind and informative.
I'm eager to return for the next exhibit, whatever it will be. I believe they bring in new pieces each semester.

Dim lighting lends to a sense of spiritual experience; exiting into the harsh sunlight felt like emerging into another world altogether. I do wish the exhibits were lit somewhat better themselves, however. A small space, though the balcony exhibits were closed, I went through in less than an hour.
I found myself deeply moved by the visiting photography display by Tom Kiefer. Well worth checking out.
