The Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music opens its new digs June 7 on the campus of Monmouth University in Long Branch. The massive 32,000 square foot structure includes exhibition galleries, research archives, immersive interactive experiences and a performance theater.

Executive Director Robert Santelli: “The Springsteen Center provides a home for Bruce’s archives and places him in the greater story of American music. It will be a busy place! Not only will it enhance American music scholarship and add a new research dimension to Monmouth University, it will also be where Springsteen fans will be able to better understand his vast body of music and become more sophisticated listeners of it.”

Monmouth University President Patrick F. Leahy: “We are honored to host the Center on our beautiful campus here at the Jersey Shore. It reminds us that music has always been one of the most powerful teachers in American life. We’re proud to open this new destination to scholars, students, fans and neighbors as a place where American music in all of its forms can be preserved, studied and celebrated.
