The Marilyn Horne Museum and Exhibit Center is a pleasant surprise for visitors of the area, offering a museum and café/gift shop. The museum is dedicated to Marilyn Horne, a world-renowned opera singer from the area, and showcases her life and career.
Upon entering, visitors may find it confusing where to go, but can ask for direction at the information desk or café. The museum is to the left and can be overwhelming at first, but becomes clearer upon reading the information provided.
The museum takes visitors through Marilyn Horne's life, from her beginnings in Bradford to her performances at famous opera houses around the world. It includes costumes from her shows, information on people she has met, and a theater area where visitors can watch a short documentary with commentary from Ms. Horne.
The café, located to the right upon entering, has a bright and clean atmosphere. It offers pastries, sandwiches, and cookies, and has a friendly staff member working at the counter.
Admission to the museum is free, making it a worthwhile visit for those in the area. The museum is well-curated and provides an insightful look into the life of a treasure of the opera world. The café offers a pleasant experience and a delicious cup of coffee.
