Discover Australia’s sporting legacy

Nestled within the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the Australian Sports Museum is a must-visit destination for sports enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Upon entering the museum, you're immediately greeted by the sight of gleaming trophies and colorful memorabilia that set the tone for your visit. Start your journey in the Australian Football Gallery, where you can see vintage jerseys, weathered footballs, and premiership cups. The Olympic section is another showstopper, featuring Australia's first Olympic gold medal and Ian Thorpe’s swimsuit from his record-breaking performances. One of the museum's highlights is the Game On!" interactive area. Here, you can test their sporting skills through different challenges. Try your hand at beating a virtual goalie, test your reaction times, or attempt to climb a rock wall.

Upgrade to tour the MCG

In the cricket section of the museum, you'll find the hallowed Waterford Crystal Ashes trophy, a symbol of the fierce rivalry between Australia and England. Cricket aficionados will be in heaven as they peruse memorabilia from legends like Shane Warne and Don Bradman. Should you wish to immerse yourself in the ground’s cricketing history, upgrade to the 75-minute behind-the-scenes tour to get access to the inner sanctum of the Melbourne Cricket Club. You’ll get to see the players’ change rooms, walk along the boundary line on the ground, and even see the legendary portrait of Don Bradman and Sachin Tendulkar. It’s the perfect way to round out your Melbourne trip.
