Our Approach

We believe that by joining forces through joy-centered work, we can create a more just and compassionate Louisville that reflects the principles of Muhammad Ali.

Sponsored Senior Center/Elder Care Tours

Enriching Lives
The Muhammad Ali Center is committed to ensuring that our seniors live connected, healthy lives. Our commitment to serving older adults goes beyond traditional museum experiences; it’s about creating opportunities for meaningful engagement and connection. Current studies such as the UCLA Loneliness Scale and John Falk’s research on “The Value of Museums: Enhancing Societal Well-Being,” have shown that museums can play a vital role in combatting social isolation and loneliness. That’s why we’re proud to offer free tour experiences for elder care organizations and senior centers in the Kentuckiana region.
Requests must be made at least one month in advance of requested visit date.
