Main GalleryMoniker: Identity Lost & FoundJune 23 - October 21, 2018 The history of monikers is that of folklore. These are the stories that have traveled by word of mouth for generations. There is no definitive written history or catalog of this art form, nor inventory of biographies of the individuals involved with it. In this powerful exhibition, the Massillon Museum has stepped in to record this history and document it so that it can remain a part of railroad heritage for generations to come. The exhibit, which will run through October 21, 2018, offers unprecedented documentation and exploration of mark-making and monikers, a grassroots movement which began in rail yards in the late nineteenth century, and continue today.

OTHER EXHIBITS:
 |
Lobby ExhibitUrban ArcheologyDuring the excavation of the property that will house our new building, workers have unearthed many small treasures. Most of these items date to the 1930s, which corresponds to the construction of the Massillon Museum’s current building, the Gensemer Brothers’ Dry Goods Store in 1931. These items were likely discarded as trash or were used to fill in the 1931 construction pit. |
 |
Lower Level ExhibitCollection Highlight: Massillon GlassMay 15 - June 5, 2018 While the Massillon Museum’s renovation has disrupted galleries and public spaces, staff and volunteers have been busy behind the scenes rehousing collections of accessories, china, ceramics, and glass. They have unpacked hundreds of pieces of glass—photographing, inventorying, and properly storing them. To showcase that work and the treasures they’re protecting and to provide displays for visitors while regular galleries are closed, cases have been installed in the lower level lobby. Their contents will change every three weeks. |
