+r.e.s.t.seekers Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 We're wondering if there would be enough Sport related museums to propose this as a Category. I'm not sure how to research this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment

+bluesnote Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I had this idea about 10 years ago and it didn't pass peer review. I would be in favor of revamping it if there is enough interest. Quote Link to comment
+Benchmark Blasterz Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Agree with Max - sports museums are sports HISTORY museums, so there is no need for a new category. Quote Link to comment
+ScroogieII Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) More agreement with 99 and Perky here. In our experience, pretty much anything & everything we've found which approached being a Sports Museum was actually a Sports Hall of Fame, whether local, regional or national.

It's an old problem. Oh well. As a historian and a former museum curator I find this approach very sad. Edited October 5, 2022 by Torgut Quote Link to comment

At present there are no fewer than 12 museums categories, not counting History Museums. I see nothing wrong with the addition of a Sports Museum category, provided that there are sufficient to flesh out a category beyond a couple dozen entries. My only concern here is that, in this part of the world, at least, Sports Museums tend to be, instead, Sports Halls of Fame. To date, I simply can't recall having encountered an actual Sports Museum, except those within the confines of a traditional History Museum. Keith Quote Link to comment

Google the term Sports Museum? Actually, If I were doing it, it would be Duck Duck Go the term the term Sports Museum? Keith Edited October 10, 2022 by ScroogieII Quote Link to comment

Try searching History Museums with sports as a search criteria. There are several already posted. Edited October 10, 2022 by T0SHEA Quote Link to comment
