Arts and Culture in Marin County

Your options to explore the past, present, and future are endless in Marin County. You can find museums that are very much centered on local history, such as the Bolinas Museum and the Novato History Museum. Art lovers will enjoy the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art located in Novato, which is made up of two galleries, a museum store, a classroom, and artist studios that provide an air of creative energy, enabling contemporary art to flourish.

While in Novato, check out The Space Station Museum, which aims to educate the public about the history of US space travel. This topic is particularly important in California because many spacecrafts were birthed in the state, including: the Apollo Command Module, the Space Shuttle, the Hubble Telescope. If you prefer earth travel via bicycles, then you should head to the Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in Fairfax, to trace the evolution of the bicycle to as far back as the 1860s.
