The Sports Museum

Specialties

The Sports Museum is a 501©(3) non-​profit educational institution housed in the TD Garden that has served Boston and New England for the past 30 years.

At The Sports Museum, we celebrate the character of Boston sports — the unique brand of teamwork, determination, responsibility, courage, fairness, and other qualities of character possessed by our teams and athletes that make Boston «The Greatest Sports City in America.» Equally important, we use this distinctly rich heritage to help build character in kids so that they can stand strong in the face of drugs, violence, and other dangers.

History

Established in 1977.

The museum was founded in 1977 in nearby Cambridge, Massachusetts before eventually moving to Boston to the Garden, which has been home to Celtics and Bruins for twenty years. The museum’s exhibits focus on the history of various sports in the Boston area, including the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Marathon, Patriots, Revolution, boxing, college sports, and others.
