Ten years after his death, Madison comedian Chris Farley is being honored.

The Chris Farley exhibit opened Tuesday at the Wisconsin Historical Museum, Madison station WISC-TV reported.

His family donated many of the items for the "Remember Chris" collection. Some items include the "Matt Foley, motivational speaker" jacket and tie on loan from "Saturday Night Live," the samurai sword from "Beverly Hills Ninja" and the jacket from "Tommy Boy."

The exhibit opens in conjunction with the release of a new biography "The Chris Farley Show," co-written by his brother Tom Farley.

"He loved Madison. He loved Wisconsin, and he took that love out to the public, and I think people in Wisconsin really know he's one of us," said Leslie Bellais, Wisconsin Historical Museum curator.

The exhibit runs through November.
