Overview
- Auctions conducted by Christie's in New York are slated to begin in March 2026 with free public exhibitions at Rockefeller Plaza.
- The family said most of the trove will be offered for sale while select items remain in their possession.
- Highlights span more than 200 famed instruments plus Muhammad Ali’s 1974 WBC belt, Secretariat’s Triple Crown saddle, Jack Kerouac’s 'On the Road' manuscript, and an early copy of the Declaration of Independence.
- Christie’s executive Julien Pradels called the assemblage “magnificent” and said objects will be offered to collectors worldwide.
- The decision comes after Jim Irsay’s death in May 2025 following years of public showings, including a one-year Indiana University display that ended in September.
