I go here often. Take any out of town guests here. Everyone has always loved it and appreciated the visit! I understand they are going to be expanding in the near future. Can't wait to see what that unfolds! I have been to a bazillion galleries & museums in my lifetime.... but this is unmatched! The magnitude of Marshall Fredericks... More

This exceptional gallery of sculptor Marshall M. Fredericks' works is awesome. (It's also free, but there is a donation box.) You can learn a lot about the process of making public sculptures. There is also a very nice attached gift shop that features lovely (and pricey) pieces by Michigan artists as well as the easily-affordable kids souvenirs. I took my... More

Being a Michigan native I had not realized that we had such a wonderful treasure on a beautiful college campus. Definately a place to visit only 4 minutes from the freeway.

The massive scale of famous sculptor Fredericks' work alone makes this attraction worth the visit, and there is much more to recommend it.

This museum was well worth the drive from Detroit. Great collection of plaster models, wall reliefs and sculptures. I love happening upon his work throughout the metro Detroit area, but it was really nice to see so much of his work in one place. This museum and garden takes 1-2 hours to explore. Highly recommended.

It has many pourings and carvings of the Cross in the Woods that is full sized in Indian River,MI. I am alumni of SVSU and visit this gallery frequently. Staff are very helpful.

This small museum displays many of the plaster casts that were created by sculptor Marshall Fredericks. Very impressive and often includes displays by other local artists. Limited hours and days open match SVSU holidays so call to check first.

This ongoing display highlights the style of Marshall Fredricks' more than two thousand works spanning the 70-year career of the Detroit-based public sculptor.

I became acquainted with Marshall M. Fredericks work as a child when I visited the Cross in the Woods in Indian River, MI. I have enjoyed many visits to the Marshall M. Fredericks Museum at Saginaw Valley State University. At each visit I see something different and learn something new about Marshall M. Fredericks and the sculptures. The facilities are... More
