"Game Changer: United by Sports" brings to life the power of sports in bridging divides and fostering unity across cultures through rare artifacts and inspirational stories. Visitors will explore pivotal moments when sports brought our nation together, such as President Bush’s first pitch at the World Series in New York after 9/11, and learn how legendary athletes like Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson inspired change far beyond the game.

The all-new exhibition explores how sports are interwoven with American history, spotlighting defining moments that put the nation on the world stage. It also highlights historic milestones in sports that are often overlooked in history books yet have played a powerful role in how America is viewed globally - and how Americans view themselves.

A dedicated gallery celebrating North Texas sports will be featured in the exhibit, including a changing selection of memorabilia from local teams that reflect the passion of their fans and the pride these teams inspire in their communities.

The exhibition will remain on display through January 10, 2027.
