if you are in the area, this is worth your time. A well curated museum to a treasure of the opera world. I enjoyed the presentation and the taped asides from Marilyn herself!

This is an awesome museum, and a fitting tribute to a wonderfully gifted and talented lady. Beautifully put together. Also, check out the foyer on the right side of and behind the elevator.

What a great little gem found in the former oil city of Bradford, Pennsylvania! All for free too!Stop in to learn of former world star, Marilyn Horne - born in Bradford - and her travels in the Opera. The Museum has a great little cafe and gift shop for you to explore as well. If you're in a hurry, you can make the rounds in less than an hour. The longer you stay, the more there is to discover.A newly installed exhibit in the first floor lobby area about Henry Lewis, Horne's spouse explores the artists life. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the area!

Get in the Christmas spirit at the Marilyn Horne Museum’s holiday weekend. Carolers in gorgeous costumes and plenty of very high quality local crafters and small businesses offer a fantastic selection of items. I found many Christmas gifts here within the craft sale and also at the cafe shop.

As a collector of vintage jazz and classical records I was shocked to find out Marilyn Horne was from rural Pennsylvania. I was passing throught and discovered this museum by accident. Very well put together, with a friendly staff person to greet you. Great interactive displays and information about Marilyn including costumes, films of opera performances and more. Would recommend.

The Marilyn Horne Museum is a world-class exhibit space located at the heart of Downtown Bradford. The building is a recently restored echo of 1930s design, complete with grand lobby. The exhibit space itself is small but dense, with lots of textual, audio, and video information to explore. Even those like myself who hadn’t had much exposure to opera will find themselves impressed with the skill and prominence of this local diva.Standout features of the museum are the interactives, a small theater offering a documentary, and audio wands to hear Marilyn reminisce on her career.Overall a standout museum and worth a visit for folks from all walks!

The Marilyn Horne Museum is a gem in Bradford and is advancing arts and culture of our region. The café is a great place to grab a drink and you can find unique items in the shop.

Who would think Bradford Pa and Marilyn Horn could be connected?

We didn’t know much about Marilyn Horne when we first visited the museum, but we definitely knew her and knew about her life after we came out of this museum. A giant recommendation!

Awesome history lesson

Fantastic building! The museum is a beautiful, interactive, and engaging space with little musical games that are especially nice for little ones. The gift shop just in the space over is full of nice little trinkets and gifts, and the Starbucks has great service with free WiFi. Overall, a great place to stop by if you're in the area.

This small museum celebrates Marilyn Horne's life, career and accomplishments. She was born in Bradford and moved to California in her preteen years where she pursued her singing career. Many of the exhibits are interactive and you can listen to performances and interviews. The costume exhibit is dazzling. Admission to the museum is free. It is open 7 days a week and the adjacent cafe and gift shop is open Monday through Saturday.There is ample parking adjacent.
