The National Art Museum of Sport was founded in 1959 by Germain G. Glidden, an artist and sportsman. It has over 800 works of painting and sculpture related to more than 40 sports.[1] The museum has been located at the University Place Conference Center at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis campus in Indianapolis, Indiana since 1994.
