The Shroud of Turin Center was established in 1997 to provide educational services to the public and to conduct scientific and historical research. 

The Center houses full-size color transparencies and full-size black-and-white negative transparencies of the Shroud, and a full-size replica of the Cross of the Crucifixion. The transparencies are replicas of high-resolution photographs taken during the scientific investigation by the STURP team in 1978.  The Center undertakes an active dialogue with the university communities of central Virginia.

The Center periodically conducts interactive, multimedia presentations onsite on the many different aspects of the science and history of the Shroud, as well as presentations to various groups by request.  The currently scheduled presentations for Lent – “Imprint of Mercy” — are open to the public and without charge.   You may hear the dates of our Lenten presentations at 804-784-3366.  To schedule a multimedia presentation with Q&A tailored to the interests of your group, please call 804-784-3366 or email bryan1106@comcast.net .
