Australian Gallery of Sport and Olympic Museum

Located at the MCG is Australia's first multi-sport museum, with collections documenting Australia's sporting history and the cultural significance of sport. The Gallery is an accredited museum (since (1998) and has extensive collections of artefacts, photographs and research material from the Modern era of Summer Olympic Games, as well as significant material relating to Australian Rules football, boxing, bicycle racing, rowing, golf, tennis, lawn bowls, shooting, baseball, lacrosse, hockey, squash, basketball, soccer, netball and billiards. The Gallery is the only International Olympic Committee endorsed Olympic Museum in Australia.

Please note: temporary closure
A massive project to rebuild the entire northern side of the MCG began in 2002, directly following the AFL Grand Final. Stage 3 of this project in October 2003 entailed the demolition of the MCC Members Pavilion and the Australian Gallery of Sport and Olympic Museum. The majority of the Gallery's extensive collection has been put into storage, but a small portion is touring the country with the Powerhouse Museum's travelling exhibition "Sport: more than heroes and legends". The Museum will re-open in early 2006 prior to the Commonwealth Games, and is envisaged as a world-class sports museum, with a large interactive component to engage and fascinate all visitors.
