Exhibits
Fragmented Views by Pamela Stoddard
This exhibit features the mixed media collage created by Brighton artist Pamela Stoddard. "Fragmented Views" reflects upon the fragments of life: phases, uncertainties, predicaments, aspirations, and outlooks. Stoddard creates works that are both realistic and abstract, creating different levels or dimensions that give the paintings a surreal quality.

Petticoat Patriots: How Michigan Women Won the Vote
This temporary history exhibit explores how the women's suffrage movement unfolded in Michigan and the stories of over 20 Michigan women that became leading suffragists. Visitors of all ages will enjoy the engaging stories, images, and artifacts. The exhibit also features many interactive elements, including a voting booth for students to exercise their suffrage and places for visitors to share their own ideas.

The Michigan Women's Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame features more than 250 historical and contemporary women of Michigan who have been inducted since 1983. Exhibit cases display items related to the newest class of inductees and highlighting individuals in the Hall of Fame.
