Sports Museum of New England (The Sports Museum)

    Sports Museum of New England (The Sports Museum)

    The Sports Museum is a nonprofit museum housed inside TD Garden, the downtown arena that is home to the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins. Spread across multiple levels of the building, its exhibits celebrate New England’s deep sports history, with memorabilia, photographs, life-size statues of local legends, and displays spanning basketball, hockey, baseball, football, and more.

    Because the museum sits within an active arena, access is typically by guided tour and availability can depend on the building’s event schedule, so it’s wise to confirm hours and booking in advance. The location makes it easy to pair with a walk along the nearby Freedom Trail or a visit to the North End. Admission details, tour times, and event-day availability change, so check the official Sports Museum site before planning your visit.
