Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville (must see)

The Muhammad Ali Center is a non-profit museum and cultural center in Louisville, dedicated to boxer Muhammad Ali, a native of Louisville. The museum features exhibitions regarding Ali's major events and transitions in his life: the religious switch, boxing career, childhood, military draft evasion, and philanthropic work.

An orientation theater helps present Ali's life. A mock boxing ring is recreated based on his Deer Lake Training Camp. A two-level pavilion, housed within a large elliptical room, features Ali's boxing memorabilia and history. A large projector displays the film “The Greatest” onto a full-sized boxing ring. There are also booths where visitors can view clips of Ali's greatest fights on video-on-demand terminals, which also feature pre- and post-fight interviews.

Whether or not you are a boxing fan, you will likely find the exhibitions captivating and educational.

Great interactive museum which shows not only the life of the greatest boxer of all time, but also puts you in to perspective as to what a life in segregated America was like in the past century.
