They are among the most numerous and popular of the specialized museums and museum-like institutions in America and are receiving increasing attention in other countries as well. Vistiors are drawn to these institutions by the love and thrill of sports, the fascination with sports heroes and the allure of historical sports objects and enticing modern exhibits. Through these establishments, millions of sports fans are entertained, informed and given the opportunity to relive exciting sports moments from the past.

Over 580 of these facilities in 46 countries are listed, covering some 82 categories of sporting activities. Institutions are organized by sport.
