Sports Museum

Sports Museum

The Sports Museum was a sports museum in Singapore, located in the West Entrance of the National Stadium.

The Sports Museum was established in 1983 to preserve and showcase Singapore's sporting heritage. It was opened to the public in May 1983 to coincide with the staging of the 12th SEA Games in Singapore.

The museum was closed with the official closure of National Stadium on 30 June 2007. The sporting mementoes will be moved to a new gallery at the Singapore Sports Council's (SSC) temporary office and heritage corners of selected SSC sports and recreation centres such as Jurong West and Sengkang, until the completion of the Singapore Sports Hub in 2011. The new Sports Museum at the sports hub will feature other integrated facilities such as a visitor centre, sports library, and a sports information and resource centre.cite web |url= http://app.mcys.gov.sg/web/corp_speech_story.asp?szMod=corp&szSubMod=speech&qid=4102|title= Thank You Luncheon for Donors and Sportspeople in the Sports Museum's "Hall of Fame" by Mr Teo Ser Luck, Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development, Youth and Sports |date=2007-07-14|accessdate=2007-08-31 |format= |work= Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (Singapore)]
