The Muhammad Ali Center will reopen on October 2

None of the center’s artifacts were damaged in the Sept. 18 fire, but the HVAC system and tiles on the side of the building near the parking garage were damaged.

Louisville Fire Department, Louisville Metro Police and the River City Parking Authority responded to the morning blaze.

“We were truly grateful that none of the exhibits … were harmed,” Ali Center spokeswoman Annie Moore said at a Sept. 25 news conference. “All our emergency systems worked exactly as they should. We are very grateful to the services that helped bring the fire under control.”
