At the museum, visitors can learn the story of the four-time NBA champion and engage in a multimedia experience in which they can explore a recreation of the now-38-year-old’s childhood apartment.
Other activities at the museum include seeing items from the “King’s” childhood, watching footage of his time as a high school athlete, and witnessing the path that led him to four NBA titles, the report noted.
Notable memorabilia on display include James’s 2003 NBA draft all-white suit, his McDonald’s All American Game jersey, and a backboard and rim from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, according to the report.

“My dream was always to put Akron on the map,” James said. “So to have a place in my hometown that allows me to share my journey with my fans from all over the world means a lot to me.”
“I’ve been known to hang on to a lot of things over the years, and I always knew there would be a time and place to bring them out,” he said.
