Lawn Tennis Museum was founded by Marianella Padron.

She started to collect tennis memorabilia with the simple idea to decorate a wall.

The first idea that crossed her mind was to put an old tennis racket on the wall. She drove to the closest thrift store to purchase a couple of rackets. After displaying the rackets on the wall, she discovered the intricacy of the tennis rackets.
This discovery developed into a unique fascination.
She found herself searching for tennis rackets every weekend. This is how the collection started.

With a collection of more than 500 rackets, Marianella began to collect tennis books and other memorabilia.

The collection now includes 2000 rackets, over 300 tennis books and numerous tennis memorabilia.
