Our second floor galleries showcase our permanent collection. Only 2% of our collection of over 100,000 objects are ever on display at one time. That is why we rotate exhibits every 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year so that visitors can always see something new!

Our galleries include the Paul L. David Sports Gallery, the Middle Gallery, the Back Gallery, and the Immel Circus.

Reopening of the Second Floor Galleries:

On October 22, 2011, the Massillon Museum will open several new displays in its second floor galleries:

  • new acquisitions to the collection
  • football feature: Paul Brown Era
  • Massillon and the War of the Rebellion
  • newly installed Circus items
  • Historic Fourth Street photographs
