Mission:
The Massillon Museum collects, preserves and exhibits art and artifacts to enrich our community through education and experience.
History:
The Massillon Museum, a local art and history museum, has major collections of photography; costumes and textiles; china, glass and pottery; domestic appliances; and circus memorabilia. The Museum was first accredited in 1972 by the American Association of Museums and has continued to be accredited by the AAM since that time. As of 2008, our permanent collection contains over 100,000 items, mostly gifts from the community.
About Us:
Art and local history in a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of downtown Massillon. More than 100,000 objects in the permanent collections are rotated in second-floor exhibitions. Main gallery exhibitions feature regional- and national-level art. The 100-square-foot miniature hand-carved Immel Circus is always on display. Tuesday through Saturday 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Sunday 2:00 to 5:00 pm. A visit to the Massillon Museum is always free.
