ABOUT THE MUSEUM
The Marilyn Horne Museum and Exhibit Center showcases highlights from the personal archive of legendary opera singer Marilyn Horne. Located in Bradford, Pennsylvania’s historic downtown district, the museum is housed in a six-story, circa 1932 Art Deco building. Collection highlights include costumes, interactive audio and visual exhibits, and a documentary film shown in a sumptuous theater designed to evoke the ambience of Venice’s famed Teatro la Fenice.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCES IN AN ELEGANT SETTING
The museum has a variety of unique experiences offered throughout the year. These include: high tea, a luxury Venetian dessert buffet, a Venetian mask making activity, private lectures, and more.
Additionally, the museum has a regular program of events and concerts open to the public. We encourage group tour operators to book one of our Candlelight Concerts, featuring musicians and vocalists from around the world.
We offer a variety of group lunch and dinner options. Meals start at just $12.00 per person and can be served brown bag style, plated, or buffet style.
For those looking for something more special, we can work with you to curate an intimate dining experience in the museum’s elegant theater.
