Future of MHM

Introduction to the new Marin History Museum
The Marin History Museum will begin a new chapter with the opening of our new museum. It will be nestled into the hillside of Boyd Park next to the Boyd Gate House, our long-time home. Special architectural features will include a beautiful Victorian-style glass atrium, two exterior landscaped terraces, and a rooftop garden which will connect with Boyd Park. Adjacent gardens, courtyards and plaza will provide a welcoming area for all to enjoy Marin's outstanding climate and natural beauty.

Unique to other history exhibitions in the region, the Marin History Museum will tell stories about the past that include a contemporary perspective, making the Museum more relevant to today's visitor. Stories about Marin's founding families and businesses, the environmental movement, the movie and recording industries and much more will be presented through a stunning combination of interactive displays, graphics, maps, artifacts and audio narratives. Marin County's own Academy Studios (based in Novato) is designing and fabricating the exhibits for our new museum.

The museum will also feature changing exhibits of topical interest, a multimedia room, and a variety of programs, making each visit to the Marin History Museum a fresh experience. And you won't want to miss our fabulous Museum Store! Click here for a description of the new permanent exhibit.

This is such an exciting time for the Marin History Museum. Please join us in preserving our past and building our future!
