LOVE the Marin County Civic Center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright! There’s a beautiful lake behind the Civic Center, a wonderful auditorium & a great library. This is Frank Lloyd Wright at his finest. Just don’t end up in the Marin County Jail! ????

We stopped in to visit the famous civic center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. We very much enjoyed the architectural design from Wright throughout the complex. They county has done a wonderful job recounting the story of getting the civic center completed and some of the barriers encountered along the way. We also enjoyed the special textiles exhibit on display during our July 2022 visit. If you're in the area, appreciate architecture, and/or a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, this is a must for your itinerary!

There is a library in it. Also, you can find around parks and recreation areas by walk.

Every saturday there is a farmers market in the parking lot. Fresh produce!

프랭크 로이드 라이트의 작품으로 널리 알려져 있지는 않지만, 직접 와서 보니 뉴욕 구겐하임 미술관만큼 좋았습니다.^^

It is an extraordinarily unique and interesting government center. Frank Lloyd Wright designed it with his principles of organic architecture to form amazing spaces and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape while bringing the outside into the building. The new roof repairs look blutiful.

Lovely building a lot of nice public spaces! Lots of bathrooms and parking spots.

This is one of the weirdest government complex of buildings ever created. Yes, designed by the late, great Frank Lloyd Wright, and very "futuristic-looking" from the outside. It's actually a giant gerbil run with confusing long hallways, and difficult-to-find government offices and Court rooms. And a nice county Library. Insufficient elevators, escalators, and bathrooms. Poor ADA layout, difficult to find offices, with thousands of highly-paid government workers hiding out in their spaces and trying not to be found - lest they might have to do more "official" government work! Ghosts of past crimes, and historic events! Definitely a tourist location - a place for a good big hike! Just don't get lost in the labyrinth of it all! (And if you actually need to do some official government business or GO to COURT, allow plenty of time to find where you need to go!)

Most of the staff is quite friendly, few need some training in public rights. Really nice building
