Virtual Exhibits
Because gallery space is limited, the Massillon Museum shares these virtual exhibits to allow the public to see images that are not currently displayed in the Museum, but are preserved in the permanent collection. Gallery exhibitions change regularly and the Museum continues to add virtual exhibits on this website. Check back in person and online often. To see a list of our current exhibits, please click here.
The Massillon Museum currently preserves more than 60,000 photographs and 17,000 archival documents. In an effort to make these items accessible to the public for personal or research use, we present the following virtual exhibits for your enjoyment. These are artifacts that are not necessarily on view at the Museum.
If you wish to purchase a photo reproduction of any of these images, please read about pricing, rules, and regulations.
Or you can contact:
Archivist Mandy Altimus Pond by phone: 330-833-4061 x 113, or by email.
