the american sport art museum & archives

The museum is actually the halls of an office building so you encounter employees and offices. I kind of felt out of place, so it was a short visit. It is great that they offer the displays, but I would had personally felt more comfortable if it was a museum set aside in the building instead of having to aimlessly roam halls

Heavy rains had us choosing indoor activities and this seemed interesting. We drove around the building and found what appeared to be the main entrance. Halfway up the stairs it says 'Visitors use door on other side'. Dashed back to car. Drove to other side. Circled twice looking for the 'Visitors' door. Drove away with my $10 donation still in my pocket.

My boyfriend, sister and I decided to go to the Sport Art Museum. It was free admission (always a good thing). We all enjoyed the art and for it to be a free outing, we had a good time. My boyfriend loves baseball and knows a lot about sports, he really enjoyed it and loved explaining pieces of art to us. Nothing breathtaking, not TONS of art, but a nice place nonetheless. Visiting once is probably enough.

I should explain the title by saying that although the museum does have a lot of sport related art, the building is primarily an online sports education school. Do not expect to find sports memorabilia. The collection is mostly paintings and statues. There are a lot of items by artists who made pieces specifically for the Olympics. The gift shop does contain prints but is a little underwhelming overall.
