Billie Jean King: Champion. Activist. Legend.
Organized by the New-York Historical Society, this traveling exhibition presents more than 75 photographs of King’s extraordinary life, including her journey to achieve 39 Grand Slam titles and the world number one ranking in women’s tennis. An inspirational champion on and off the court, King’s lifelong advocacy for equality and social justice is brought to life in this first ever exhibition about her life.
Youth baseball camps now in collaboration with Red Hawk Baseball
Montclair State University & Yogi Berra Museum Youth Camp is for baseball players of all abilities, ages 6-13.

All participants will also have the opportunity to experience the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center during a camp day, directly adjacent to the ball field — Museum admission is included with your camp registration!
In-Person and Virtual School Trips
The Museum offers interactive, sports-based education experiences that give students a chance to meet in real time with their teachers (and with one another,) while exploring topics in STEM, history and language arts.

Exciting readings, off-screen activities, thought-provoking questions and multimedia tools create an engaging, accessible learning experience for middle and high school students. And our plans meet NJ State and Common Core National Standards, so they're the perfect supplement to classroom curriculum.
