Whether in film, ink, clay or wood, an artist’s vision of Mary, the mother of Jesus, incorporates our culture and spirituality, as well as the personal attributes her life models for our own.

The Marian Library - International Marian Research Institute maintains a collection of thousands of cultural items conceptualizing Mary, the mother of Christ. This is a sampling of sculpture and other cultural objects that have been photographed using 360-degree imaging. The equipment used in this process was funded by a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded through the State Library of Ohio.
