James Naismith’s rules of basketball to be displayed at the Nelson-Atkins Museum

University of Kansas donors David

and Suzanne Booth bought Dr. James Naismith’s 13 rules of basketball for $4.3 million in December. Finally, those rules will be displayed in Kansas City at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art during March Madness.

Best of all, you can see the exhibit for free (although no one’s going to be mad at you if you drop a few bucks in the donation box). The Nelson-Atkins is calling the exhibit: “James Naismith’s Original Rules of Basket Ball.” It opens Saturday, March 5, in Kirkwood Hall and will remain on display through May 29 (well after a national champion has been crowned).
