Massillon Museum
Overview
Massillon Museum—where art and history come together—is a regional cultural hub. MassMu engages visitors in educational and entertaining experiences—with no admission fee. In ten galleries, exhibitions span an array of interests; many change regularly. The Paul Brown Museum within MassMu highlights hometown hero and football innovator Coach Brown. Two galleries offer artist and community collaboration opportunities. The Immel Circus, a 2,620-piece hand-carved miniature diorama surrounded by circus costumes, posters, and photographs, is a visitor favorite, along with a 1907 Massillon-manufactured car, internationally renowned photographs, and additional treasured permanent collection artifacts. A sensory room, where guests of all ages can relax and center themselves, provides privacy for breastfeeding mothers. Family restrooms and changing tables in men's and women's restrooms add to MassMu's family-friendly atmosphere. The Museum shop features regionally handcrafted pottery, jewelry, and cards; local history and football books; and children's gifts. Rental venues are available.
