Jackie Robinson Museum Opens In Manhattan

After more than 14 years of planning, the Jackie Robinson Museum officially opened its doors this week.

The nearly 20,000-square-foot museum includes memorabilia, trophies, and other artifacts from Robinson’s life – spanning both his baseball career and tireless civil rights work.

An opening gala held Tuesday was attended by Robinson’s 100-year-old widow Rachel Robinson, as well as two of their children.


Other celebrities in attendance included Spike Lee, C.C. Sabathia, Billie Jean King, and NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
