Concerts
The Bible’s influence extends beyond visual arts into musical expression.  MOBIA’s concert series, Hearing the Sacred, is programmed as a counterpart to exhibitions, exploring themes, time period and/or culture.  Musical selections include “classics” of religious music – such as medieval chant and Renaissance vocal polyphony - as well as new works that explore spirituality.  Concerts are offered free of charge and include museum admission on the day of the concert.

Lectures
MOBIA’s lecture series, facilitated by noted art historians, historians, artists or religious scholars, seeks to expand the public’s understanding of the current exhibition and offers a dialogue concerning the connections between art, religion and culture.  Lectures are offered free of charge and include museum admission on the day of the lecture.
