Kolkata: India’s First Multi-Sports Museum

The cricket legend’s century-scoring gloves, or the football team’s winning trophy—India’s first multi-sport museum, the Fanattic Sports Museum in Kolkata has it all. Opened in January, the 6,700-sq ft museum by sports journalist Boria Majumdar is a remarkable exhibition of all things sporting. If you’re a cricket-buff, you will be delighted to find Tendulkar’s 100th-century scoring gloves, bat and jersey here. For the football enthusiast, there’s Atlético de Kolkata’s Indian Super League trophy at the entrance. Signed memorabilia from tennis stars Nadal and Federer and sprinting legend Usain Bolt are some of the other exciting artefacts found here.
