Summary
$50 million and 30,000 square feet anchor the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, which opens June 13 at Monmouth University in New Jersey.
Springsteen, 76, said he wanted the center in his home state as a permanent marker of his ties to New Jersey, where he still lives.
The space sits about a mile from the Jersey Shore boardwalk and is designed to offer a broad exploration of American music rather than serve only as a monument to Springsteen.
The opening extends Springsteen's long public association with New Jersey, turning that identity into a lasting cultural institution in his home state.
