Muhammad Ali Center, Cultural museum in Louisville, United States
The Muhammad Ali Center is a six-floor museum in Louisville, Kentucky, dedicated to the life of the boxer and activist. Visitors find display cases with personal items, screens showing historical footage, and rooms representing different life phases.
The institution opened in 2005 to preserve the legacy of the athlete born in this city in 1942. Over the years the collection grew with loans from family members and companions.
The building takes its name from the boxer born in this city who later gained worldwide recognition. Visitors today see recordings of his performances, hear interviews, and can trace how he used his public voice.
Guided tours run about 90 minutes and can be booked in advance, with reduced rates for seniors, students, and military personnel. The entrance level sits at ground floor and all levels are accessible by elevator.
A replica boxing ring stands in one of the exhibition rooms and invites visitors to stand between the ropes themselves. Those who stand there hear sounds of spectators and bells through speakers that recall real matches.
