The Muhammad Ali Center will open its doors to give visitors the chance to catch complimentary Olympic coverage from 9:30am-5:00pm on July 31, August 1, 2, 8, 9 & 10. Live Olympic coverage will be shown in the Center’s auditorium on a large viewing screen.
Visitors are free to bring in a brown bag lunch with them. Entrance into the viewing area is complimentary, but guests can pay to see the Center’s exhibits at the admissions desk if they choose to do so.
The Center boasts three levels of award-winning exhibits that document Muhammad Ali’s life and legacy. In addition to these permanent exhibits, visitors can take part in an interactive exhibit called Olympic Summer. Olympic Summer is an informative, all-ages-friendly exhibit that allows visitors to compete against one another in mock Olympic events and follow Muhammad Ali’s Olympic journey from his 1960 Gold Medal in Rome to his torch-bearing appearance at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
