The Bolinas Museum presents more than 18 exhibitions per year. The Main Gallery offers changing exhibitions of contemporary art and history. Regional artists are featured in the Coastal Marin Artists Gallery. The Helene Sturdivant Mayne Photography Gallery presents exhibitions of diverse fine art photography and The Margaret Duncan Greene Gallery exhibits selections from the permanent collection of art from the 1800s to the present. The Floyd Russell Family History Room details the history of the area with photographs, documents and objects from the extensive collections in the Museum’s archive. One wall is reserved for changing displays of regional interest.
