The LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF) is set to open the world’s first and only official museum dedicated to the journey and milestones of LeBron James, aptly named LeBron James’ Home Court, at House Three Thirty in Akron on November 25, 2023. The immersive multimedia experience begins with a recreation of his Spring Hill Apartment #602 curated by LeBron’s mother, Gloria James, and continues through the historic Fab Five years at St. Vincent – St. Mary’s, the memorable 2003 NBA Draft, his championship runs in Cleveland, Miami and Los Angeles, and the gold-medal winning Olympic years. The journey also takes visitors through game-changing moments in his business and philanthropy, with the self-guided tour culminating in the story of the LeBron James Family Foundation’s evolution from a bikeathon to a world-renowned model for community building.

“My dream was always to put Akron on the map, 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,” said LeBron James. “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. I’m so proud that place is House Three Thirty, a space my Foundation created to serve my I Promise families and the entire community.”

Throughout Home Court, visitors will get a walk-in-the-footsteps view of LeBron’s life through unique and notable items from his personal collection including the all-white 2003 NBA Draft suit, the infamous 3-1 drum set, his high school McDonald’s All-American jersey and the original TV from his Spring Hill apartment. The recreation of St. Vincent – St. Mary’s LeBron James Arena includes the original rim and backboard LeBron played on during his time at St. V. The gallery also includes a collection of fan art he’s received over the years, original shoes he’s played his biggest moments in, James family photos in his replica office, and notes from his journey along the way.  

Reservations for LeBron James’ Home Court are available now for presale here, with the first public tours beginning on November 25th. General admission tickets are $23. All proceeds from tickets sales go back into House Three Thirty’s innovative job training program that provides I Promise students, parents, educators and family members with new skills and employment opportunities. 

To celebrate opening weekend, the original paintings of Dirk Rozich’s LeBron art that is featured inside the Home Court entryway will be available for sale inside House Three Thirty’s Retail Shop as well as reproductions.
