About the KEEPERS' COLLECTION Tour

Hidden deep within the MCG in areas unknown to the public, lies a treasure trove of Australian sporting history stretching back to the 18th century. With over 60,000 objects in storage, from trophies and uniforms to artwork and sporting equipment, there's something for all sport and history lovers to appreciate.

On this intimate tour, a member of our expert Collections team will guide you through an exclusive, up-close encounter with these objects, and share how they're acquired, cared for and preserved.

Following your behind-the-scenes experience, explore the award-winning Australian Sports Museum at your leisure.

Available for two days only, each themed edition of the Keepers' Collection Tour is specially curated to celebrate a different chapter of our history.
