About Muhammad Ali Center

The Muhammad Ali Center is a six-story museum in downtown Louisville, founded by Muhammad and Lonnie Ali and opened in 2005. Exhibits are built around his six core principles: confidence, conviction, dedication, giving, respect and spirituality. You can step into a mock boxing ring modeled on his Deer Lake training camp, watch his fights on video terminals and see a film projected onto a full-size boxing ring. Two art galleries are named for LeRoy Neiman and Howard L. Bingham.
