The Museum features both temporary exhibits and permanent displays. Our rotating exhibits highlight stories of Royal Oak events, cultural and civic organizations, arts, and city or township development. Our permanent displays, which are refreshed annually, explore Royal Oak's past through artifacts, historic photographs, and archival documents in themed display cases.

Join the celebration of Judson Center, a Royal Oak non-profit serving families for 100 years, with a traveling art exhibit called “The Museum of Care.” Local artists collaborated with clients to create 10 pieces depicting their journey. Each artwork has a QR code for visitors to scan and watch a video about the client's story.
