Program accomplishments

The museum provides a welcoming space for visitors to access local history through professionally designed exhibits, research assistance, and the Bookstore at the Boyd. The museums docents, available during open hours, provide orientation to our exhibits, house tours, and promote the museums membership benefits and digital image archive sales. Our most recent temporary exhibit, Marin the Muse: Paintings from the Collection, highlighted the best of the museum collections paintings. Our permanent exhibit, Petals and Ice: The Adventures of Louise A. Boyd, the only exhibit in the United States celebrating San Rafael resident and polar explorer Louise Arner Boyd, continues to draw curious residents and tourists alike. Our Craemer Family Collections Facility in Novato continues to house the museums artifact and photograph collections and serves as our home base for operations.
