Bookmark and Share
The first-ever museum dedicated to sports opened in April 2008, slightly delayed from its estimated opening date of November 2006. This 100,000 sq-ft (9,290sq m) world-class museum, developed in the former Cunard Passenger Ship Line building yard at a cost of $93 million, will house interactive sports exhibits for all ages and cover sports worldwide. Founded by Philip Schwalb, its mission is to celebrate the history of all sports and their significance in our lives and culture, on local, national and global levels. In fact, it brings together over 50 single sports halls of fame, museums and organizations across the US that will provide exhibits and memorabilia. It also includes a Women's Hall of Fame, headed by Billie Jean King and will be home to the prestigious Heisman Trophy, which has been awarded to some of the most notable athletes of the 20th century.
The National Sports Museum is a vibrant family attraction, with exciting exhibits, activities and interactive multimedia displays. It also offers rotating exhibits, great shopping opportunities, learning programs, a special event space and a sports-themed eatery. Surrounded by the key visitor sites of Lower Manhattan, the museum at Bowling Green will provide a slightly unusual as well as popular stop for those visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, as it is situated just two blocks from the ferries and only four blocks from the World Trade Center Memorial site. It is also near Battery Park, and is estimated to attract some 1.2 million visitors each year upon, more than any other sports museum in the country.
