Museums

In Louisville's museums, you can study the greatest athletes of the 20th century - both human (the Muhammad Ali Center) and equine (the Kentucky Derby Museum).

Stand beside a 120-foot-tall baseball bat, then step inside to see the real thing made at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory.

See paintings by Rembrandt, Cezanne, Picasso and Chagall in the collection of the J.B. Speed Art Museum - and weapons owned by Teddy Roosevelt, Geronimo and Custer at the Frazier International History Museum.

See a big-horn sheep's horn brought back by Lewis and Clark and a tree-trunk carved by Daniel Boone (the Filson Historical Society).

Step into a photo booth at the Louisville Science Center that will show you what you'll look like in 20 years - or spend the night in a luxury hotel that doubles as a collection of cutting-edge 21st-century art (21C Museum Hotel).

How much does Louisville love museums?

The biggest construction project in town is called Museum Plaza, and they aren't fooling with the name - one centerpiece of the 62-story project will be a contemporary art center devoted to innovative, interdisciplinary work.

Just the kind of thing we value in Possibility City.
