Australia is sport, the buzz of competition runs through the veins of every Australian and this commitment to winning is evident in the successes at the myriad of events run every year all over the world. The National Sports Museum in Melbourne is a celebration of everything that is Australian - victory.
The community takes pride in the efforts of the people and the competitors compete for the pride of their nation and nowhere is this better ref;ected than in the glorious halls of this museum. You will find the great achievements of Australian soccer, hockey, cricket, the Olympic Games and swimming amongst many more.
The museum is located in Australia's spiritual home of sport, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, it boasts new facilities, a retail and entertainment park for the public and a modern museum; the museum is visited by the public, tourists, and MCC members alike.
The museum is broadly separated into eight different section on two levels: faster and stronger, the people's ground, spirit of sport, backyard to baggy green, Australia's game, multi-sports exhibition, game on and the MCC Museum.
The space allocated to the newly refurbished Museum of Sport is three times the size of its predecessor and takes pride of place in the northern stand of the MCG.
Showcasing what it means to be an Australian success story is what the museum is all about and as you would expect the museum spends a great deal of time and effort making this accessible to groups for education and enjoyment.
