Ever since Australia’s independence—and even well before it—sport has been integral in helping Australia define its identity and culture. At the Australian Sports Museum inside the Melbourne Cricket Grounds (MCG), learn about Australia’s sporting heroes, and hear how sports have constantly inspired Australians to strive for their best. Read the stories of Australian Olympians, participate in interactive games, and brush up on history of Australian Rules Football, cricket, horse racing, and tennis. The Australian Sports Hall of Fame is housed inside the museum, as are the Australian Football Hall of Fame and Cricket Hall of Fame. A popular highlight is the life-size 3D holograms, where Australia’s legends are seemingly brought to life, and the wealth of exhibits and informative displays make the Australian Sports Museum a must-visit spot for sports fans when visiting Melbourne.
