The Marin History Museum is opening a new facility at 850 Fourth Street in the heart of downtown San Rafael.
The Marin History Museum Music Center will celebrate Marin’s rich musical heritage through interactive exhibitions, a multimedia performance space, and innovative programming. This will expand our multi-campus organization, which currently includes the historic Boyd Gate House in San Rafael and the Collections Research Facility in Novato.

The new Music Center will join youth centers, theaters, clubs and studios —strengthening Marin’s vibrant music community. The Music Center will offer a variety of exhibitions, educational programs, workshops, film screenings, special presentations, and live shows held in a 100-seat performance space.

Listen and watch as Metallica's James Hetfield and Robert Trujillo talk about the new Marin History Museum Music Center and its premiere exhibition Marin Rocks!
