Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum

The Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum is an art museum displaying over 2000 sculptures, medals, and public works from an artist's extensive career. The collection spans seven decades of production and includes both intimate pieces and large-scale public installations throughout various locations.

The museum opened in 1988 to preserve the legacy of a Detroit-based sculptor whose artistic career spanned from 1908 to 1998. The institution developed at Saginaw Valley State University to make this lifetime body of work accessible to the public.

The collection displays figurative works, memorials, and fountains that explore themes of human connection and environmental relationships. Visitors can see how these pieces shape public spaces and carry emotional meaning for communities.

The museum is located within a fine arts center and offers free admission to all visitors. Weekday visits tend to be less crowded, allowing for a quieter experience while viewing the works.

A special exhibition displays original tools and materials from the artist's studio in Royal Oak. These objects offer rare glimpses into the daily work and craft techniques that went into creating the major public works.
