Hidden History of the MCG
The National Sports Museum and MCC Library objects and displays you see around the MCG are as diverse and comprehensive as they are representative of the sporting history of this great stadium.
But they’re only the tip of the iceberg, a snapshot of the vast material held in the MCC and National Sports Museum collections.
There are many treasures in the vaults, as it were, and in similar vein there is much of the ground’s history that remains unpublished, a situation that will be entertainingly addressed in a new temporary exhibition in the ISS Exhibitions Gallery that will open to the public on August 22.
“Hidden History of the MCG” will explore what’s gone before but few know about.
There will be quirky pieces from the archives, photographs of people and events that haven’t seen the light of day, items on forgotten facilities, personal stories, overlooked facts from behind-the-scenes, and other intriguing aspects of the development of grandstands, scoreboards, sirens and so on.
There’s no doubt you’ll find plenty of interest among the many tales told. Click here to read more and to find out how share your own MCG stories.
