The Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, located on the campus of Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, opens to the public this June. Advance summer tickets are now on sale. Explore immersive exhibits, an original 25-minute film narrated by Bruce Springsteen, hands-on interactives, a digital archives experience, and more — all here on the Jersey Shore, the birthplace of Bruce's career.
Explore exhibits featuring artifacts from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band alongside powerful explorations of American music across genres and generations. Journey through chronologies of Springsteen’s career, thematic exhibitions on American musical traditions, and immersive, interactive experiences that reveal the artistry behind songwriting, recording, and performance.
Exhibition space with Bruce Springsteen displays, featuring album covers and memorabilia from the 1970s to 1990s. Visitors observe, evoking nostalgia.
Tra le centinaia di cimeli esposti nel centro, oltre la metà sono legati ad altri artisti come Frank Sinatra, un altro 'figlio del New Jersey', di cui è in mostra uno smoking, e poi Johnny Cash (una chitarra), una tromba di Louis Armstrong, un costume di Lady Gaga. Tanti, inevitabilmente, i pezzi che attireranno i fan di Springsteen, tra cui la giacca di pelle della copertina di Born to Run, il cappello rosso che esce dalla tasca dei jeans in quella di Born in the U.S.A. e l'originale Gibson acustica di Nebraska.
The inauguration was preceded by two days of music featuring, in addition to the Boss, Sheryl Crow, John Bon Jovi, Jackson Browne, Rosanne Cash, Public Enemy, Gary Clark Jr., Keb' Mo', and Valerie June, performing songs by Woody Guthrie, Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Neil Young, and Springsteen himself, among others: a true journey through the history of American music thanks to artists who donated their contributions. "This is what should have been organized for the whole country, and it deserved to take place on the National Mall," Bruce said polemically. "That's why it's nice that it's happening, anyway."
