The Ashe '68 Virtual Reality Experience
As a part of the Determined exhibition, Ashe '68 presents an eight-minute VR experience that takes viewers into the moments before Arthur Ashe's historic win at the 1968 US Open. Combining archival material, animation, and 360° video recreations, Ashe '68 enables viewers to witness such moments as Ashe's historic pre-match press conference, walk down the halls of the West Side Tennis Club, and winning match point. Learn more about Ashe '68.
Included with museum suggested admission.
The Ashe ’68 Virtual Reality Experience is presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame and was produced by Rex Miller and Beth Hubbard. Its visit to the VMHC is generously supported by local residents. Learn more here.
