Description

The National Sports Museum, located at the iconic MCG, features more than 2500 sporting artefacts and extensive multi media displays.

Showcasing the great moments in Australia’s sporting history, the museum includes a number of permanent and temporary exhibitions focused on Australian football, boxing, basketball, cricket, cycling, Olympic and Paralympic Games, soccer, tennis, rugby union and rugby league. It also houses Champions: Thoroughbred Racing – a permanent gallery dedicated to thoroughbred racing.

Also included is the MCG story and an extensive interactive area for kids of all ages. More than just a museum, it captures the spirit of Australian sporting life and relives the moments that have shaped Australia’s rich sporting traditions and cultural heritage.

The experience can be combined with a tour of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. A combined admission ticket can be purchased at the reception desk – tours depart regularly between 10am – 3pm on non event days.
