It is located near the intersection of Marmion Way at Museum Drive in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles.^[1] The station opened on July 26, 2003, as part of the original Gold Line, then known as the "Pasadena Metro Blue Line" project.

The station is named after the nearby historic Southwest Museum which is located a short walk up from the station on Museum Drive and also features an enhanced architectural design, called Highland Park Gateway, created by artists Teddy Sandoval and Paul Polubinskas.
