Museum and Grounds
An Exciting Museum Experience
The Museum at the International Tennis Hall of Fame showcases engaging and interactive exhibits about this exciting sport, located in the historic Newport Casino.
An Interactive Experience
Interactive, educational experiences abound throughout the museum. Tennis fans can test their knowledge of the sport on a five-foot touch table at which they can "serve" tennis trivia questions back and forth to each other in a fun game. The "Call the Match" exhibit offers visitors the chance to record themselves taking on the role of broadcast luminaries. Read more.
Champions and Leaders
The museum tells the story of tennis history through the lives of our Hall of Famers. Each item displayed that is connected to a particular Hall of Famer is labeled as such, with more information about their life and career, like the Rene Lacoste jacket above.
The Art of Tennis
From Maria Bueno's grace on court to Roger Federer's elegant shot making, it's not uncommon for tennis to be recognized for its beautiful, art-like nature. As such, the sport has served as an inspiration for a variety of artists, and a range of tennis-inspired art is shown throughout the museum.
An Extensive Collection
The new museum showcases more of the collection than ever before. Nearly 2000 objects are displayed from the International Tennis Hall of Fame's collection of more than 25,000 artifacts and hundreds of thousands of images, videos, and publications. Read more about the collection highlights.
The Newport Casino
A primary goal of the museum is to showcase the Newport Casino, the National Historic Landmark buildings and grounds in which the International Tennis Hall of Fame is located. Through the 2015 renovation, three magnificent fireplaces that had been covered by temporary walls for 25 years were revealed, complemented by original furnishings from the building, which was built in 1880.
The Roger Federer Hologram
A highlight of the museum is a holographic theatre in which visitors feel as though they are in the room with Roger Federer, one of the sport's all-time greatest champions. "It was an honor to be asked to be the hologram at the International Tennis Hall of Fame and I was quite happy to take on the project," commented Federer. "I've always had an interest in the history of our sport and I believe we've been fortunate to be able to learn from and build on that history. The Hall of Fame does a tremendous job of preserving our sport's history and celebrating it with the world."
