The Jackie Robinson Museum is a museum and educational center on Varick Street in Manhattan that honors the legacy of Jackie Robinson. The museum, the city's first to primarily focus on the Civil Rights Movement,[1] opened in 2022 after more than fourteen years of planning and construction.[2] The museum's collection includes more than four thousand artifacts, most from the Robinson family's own collection, highlighted by Robinson’s original National Baseball Hall of Fame plaque.[3]
The museum, which also showcases Robinson's civil rights work,[4] is operated by the Jackie Robinson Foundation.[5]
