India’s first Multi-Sports Museum inaugurated in Kolkata

India’s first multi-sports museum, Fanatic Sports Museum (‘FSM’), was inaugurated on January 29, at Ecospace in New Town, Rajarhat, Kolkata jointly by Cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly and Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra and Para-Olympic medalists Devendra Jhajharia and Deepa Malik. Sporting exploits, achievements, records and memorabilia frozen in time and feted across the world are to be showcased in the country's first multi-sports museum. What sets this museum apart is the sheer variety of sports represented in the collection. Predictably, cricket figures prominently, but many other Olympic sports including football, hockey, athletics, golf, tennis and badminton find space in the museum. Entry tickets to the museum have been priced at Rs 100 with a concession of 50% for students.
