The Museum

The Museum strives to impact this generation by leading people to encounter Jesus Christ in worship through music.  After beginning in 2008, The Museum garnered national attention with the release of their debut album “Let Love Win” in 2010.  The band was fortunate enough to land 2 top 10 singles at radio with “My Help Comes From the Lord” and “Allelujah”.  With momentum at radio, the band hit the road and hasn’t slowed down over the last decade.  The Museum is excited to partner with Student Life again helping students to focus on Jesus through worship this summer.
