Both permanent exhibits and a succession of temporary exhibits are on display at the museum for all to see.  The museum opened to the public in September of 1981.  Unlike other Presidential libraries, the museum component is geographically separate from the library/archives.  The Library is in Ann Arbor on the campus of the University.  They are considered one but are just in separate locations.

Gerald Ford served in the House of Representatives for Michigan from 1949 to 1973.  Because of his desire for the museum to be honest he wanted it built where he had served so many years.
