Less than two months before its opening, the National Museum of African American History and Culture has received a major private donation. Michael Jordan is giving $5 million to the space that will hold four centuries of history, including the basketball icon’s memorabilia.

While other athletes including Magic Johnson and Hank Aaron have donated to the museum, Jordan’s gift is the largest from a sports figure to the museum, according to The Washington Post. Additionally, one of Jordan’s jerseys, which he wore during the 1996 NBA Finals, will be in the museum’s permanent collection.

In return, the Smithsonian is naming a section of the museum’s sports gallery the Michael Jordan Hall. “I am grateful for the opportunity to support this museum,” Jordan said, according to The Post. “I also am indebted to the historic contributions of community leaders and athletes such as Jesse Owens, whose talent, commitment and perseverance broke racial barriers and laid the groundwork for the successful careers of so many African Americans in athletics and beyond.”

Since President Barack Obama attended the musuem’s groundbreaking in 2012, Washingtonians have watched as the glass building, encased in a three-tiered, bronze-coated structure, rose out of a 60-foot hole on the country’s most prime real estate. The president will attend the museum’s opening ceremony on September 24. It’ll be followed by a week of celebrations.
