Description:

Widely recognised as the home of Australian sport, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) has outstanding heritage value to Australia.The MCG is one of Australia's most significant sporting stadiums, dating back to September 1853. It has been the scene of many great sporting events, as well as many 'firsts' in Australian sporting history.In December 2005, the MCG was included in the National Heritage List so that these values can be protected for generations to come.Located at the MCG, the National Sports Museum presents world-class exhibitions of significant sporting artefacts.The museum houses the Australian Gallery of Sport and Olympic Museum, the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame, the Australian Football exhibition (including Australian Football Hall of Fame), Champions - Thoroughbred Racing Gallery, and temporary exhibition areas addressing the sporting issues and events of the day.Interactive and audiovisual displays enhance the visitor experience. On days without major events on the arena, the Museum enables public access to the Melbourne Cricket Club Museum and Library.The National Sports Museum also manages the MCG Tours.This is a vibrant, exciting and attractive mix of sporting information, cultural heritage, and interactive entertainment. The National Sports Museum serves the MCG’s match-day patronage, as well as catering for families, schools, seniors and tourist groups, seven days weekly.
