Summary
June 13 is the public opening date for the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, which Springsteen dedicated Saturday at Monmouth University in Long Branch.
Springsteen used the ceremony to credit his late parents for shaping “the music of struggle” and to thank Patti Scialfa, his wife of 35 years, saying her support made much of the project possible.
The $50 million center includes exhibition galleries, research archives, immersive interactive experiences and a performance theater, in a wood-accented building designed by CookFox Architects.
A few hundred guests attended, including Jon Bon Jovi, Gov. Mikie Sherrill and E Street Band members, underscoring the center’s role as a new New Jersey home for Springsteen’s legacy and American music history.
