Sports Museum of America
The Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame is a Founding Sports Partner of the Sports Museum of America, joining more than 50 other single-sport Halls of Fame, National Governing Bodies, Museums and other organizations across North America to richly celebrate the history, grandeur and significance of sports in American culture. Set to open in New York City on May 7, 2008, the Sports Museum of America will showcase both the Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame and US Lacrosse in its Hall of Halls Gallery (along with providing an annual donation) in return for sharing some of the museum's valuable lacrosse artifacts and their support of the creation of the Nation's first all-sports museum experience.

Famous quotes containing the words sports, museum and/or america:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“I never can pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without thinking of it not as a gallery of living portraits but as a cemetery of tax-deductible wealth.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Yes, America is gigantic, but a gigantic mistake.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
