The '''National Sports Museum''' is a [[museum]] dedicated to [[Sport in Australia|Australian sport]] and is located within the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]]. It features exhibitions and galleries of items related mainly to [[Australian Rules Football]], [[Cricket]], the [[Summer Olympic Games|Summer]] and [[Winter Olympic Games|Winter]] [[Olympic Games]], the Sport Australia Hall of Fame and the Melbourne Cricket Ground itself. Other sports also featured include [[Tennis]], [[Rugby League]], [[Rugby Union]], [[Golf]], [[Soccer]], [[Basketball]] and [[Netball]]. The museum has been criticised for a parochial focus on Australian rules football, the most popular code in the four southern of Australia's six states, to the exclusion of sports such as rugby league and rugby union which are more popular within the other two Australian states.<ref>Hinds, Richard (12 April 2008) |
