Description

The National Sports Museum, located at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), features thousands of sporting artefacts and extensive multimedia displays that showcase the great moments, people and events in Australia’s sporting history.

The museum includes a number of permanent and temporary exhibitions focused on Australian football, cricket, Olympic Games and a range of other sports and issues of the day.
