Always a wonderful experience. We have the Leaping Gazelle which we purchased directly from Mr. Fredericks. We both were raised in Detroit and aware of his work from our youth, and it was a highlight of our lives to have spent an afternoon with him. - Ruth and Stephen Czarnecki, Commerce, MI October 26, 2004

Such a hidden treasure in mid-Michigan. Have viewed his works at Frederick Meijer Gardens and Brookgreen in South Carolina. Awesome to see them all together plus the process/studio area also. Thank you! - Swarsinske, Marysville, MI August 7, 2004

The Museum, the works of art are beautifully displayed with superb lighting and extraordinary sense of proportion. An enlightening experience. - Edward McCarthy, Metairie, LA June 23, 2004

This is a very inspiring and informative collection of a truly gifted sculptor. Thank you for making it possible to view all of his works together, Christ, Saints and Sinners, Boy and Bear, Transportation Mural, etc. It was most enjoyable to view. - Ron and Mary Jane Bowman, Goshen, IN November 5, 2003

It is a great representation. We saw many museums in US but that is the first time to see the sculptor's studio from inside. We are very pleased to have this opportunity. All the best. - Vladimir and Anna Simkine, Mississauga, ON, March 15, 2007

I grew up with Marshalls sons Chris and Carl. We attended Quarton and Cranbrook school. I was also a cub scout at the Fredericks' house and occasionally we went on guided tours of the studio on Woodward Ave. Very Inspiring. - Dr. Richard Marr, Traverse City, MI July 2007

My father was the chief architect on the Veterans Memorial Building in Detroit. He worked closely with M. Fredericks in providing the background for the eagle sculpture. - Robert and Janice Guenther, Port Austin, MI November 10, 2007

Great exhibit. Home town is Rogers City, so first learned of Marshall's work when Christ on the Cross was erected at Indian River. - Rodger Grulke, Millington, MI January 24, 2008

Keep up the good work of letting the public know about this Museum. Our tour guide, Andrea Ondish, Curator of Education, was as spectacular as any museum tour we have ever had. She is definitely a first class professional; very knowledgeable about Marshall Fredericks. It is clear and obvious she loves the huge variety of artistic sculptures by Mr. Fredericks. She was a gracious lady who answered each and every one of our questions. Your organization and SVSU is most fortunate to have a staff person so very interested in all facets of the Museum. We were so enthralled; we even bought the book for ourselves! - Robert and Johanna McMichael, Estero, FL November 2007

I've been an admirer of Fredericks since I visited Brookgreen Gardens as a child. This is such a wonderful gallery and I thank you for preserving Fredericks' legacy. -- Dr. John Patrick Mullins, Pittsburgh, PA June 18, 2008

I seem to have lost my jaw. - Wade Monson, Austin, TX June 30, 2008
