National Art Museum of Sport and its collection

The National Art Museum of Sport, also known as NAMOS, was a unique institution that specialized in the theme of sport. The museum's collection was dedicated to capturing the emotions, conflicts, and triumphs inherent in sports, from the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat. The museum's focus on sports-themed art offered a unique perspective on the world of athletics, making it a distinctive destination for art and sports enthusiasts alike.

The Collection of the National Art Museum of Sport

The National Art Museum of Sport boasted one of the largest collections of sports-themed fine art in the world. With over 1,000 pieces in its collection, the museum showcased the heroes and heroines of more than 50 sports, including basketball, boxing, baseball, golf, and tennis. This extensive collection provided a comprehensive look at the world of sports through the lens of fine art.

Current Location of the Collection

In 2017, the collection of the National Art Museum of Sport was acquired by the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and the museum was subsequently disbanded.
