Are you a sports enthusiast who lives in (or around Greenwich, CT)? Or maybe you’re just someone who enjoys the thrill of competition and the camaraderie that comes with being a part of a team. Either way, the Greenwich Historical Society has an exhibition that’s sure to delight and inspire you.
From now until September 3, 2023, the Frank Family Foundation Special Exhibitions Gallery at Greenwich Historical Society is home to “Sports! More Than Just A Game.” This dynamic exhibition on the local history of sporting culture, fandom and celebrity that explores how Greenwich and surrounding communities broke boundaries, tested their limits and found common ground through athletic achievement.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of a particular team or athlete, or you simply enjoy the spirit of healthy competition, you’ll find something to love at this exhibition. It features exclusive memorabilia, equipment, and personal effects from some of the most celebrated sports figures in history, as well as everyday athletes who pushed themselves to new heights and broke barriers along the way.
But “Sports! More Than Just A Game” is more than just a showcase of sports history. It’s a reflection of the vibrant sporting culture that has developed in the greater Greenwich region over the years, and it tells a rich story of how sports have shaped the broader history of the region.
Curated by Kathleen Craughwell-Varda, an independent curator and museum consultant (and the director of Conservation ConneCTion, a training and granting program for cultural heritage organizations), this exhibition is sure to captivate and inspire visitors of all ages. And with related adult and family programs, there are plenty of opportunities to learn more about the rich history of sports in our community.
So why not make plans to visit the Greenwich Historical Society and experience “Sports! More Than Just A Game” for yourself?
Thanks to the generous support of Connecticut Humanities and First Republic Bank, this exhibition is sure to be a highlight of the cultural calendar in Greenwich this year. Don’t miss out!
