The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
I was recently able to visit the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame http://www.hoophall.com/ . My first impression was the same as when I went to the National Baseball Hall of Fame: there is too much information thrown at the viewer all at once.
But, really, it was not so bad. And, the Naismith Hall of Fame was located in an area that had some shops with athletic clothing for sale, as well as the museum shop, and some restaurants. So, visitors were allowed (even maybe encouraged) to leave, to take a break like a sit down lunch, and return to view the museum.
The basketball hall of fame includes sosme interactive activities for children, and the opportunity to be on the basketball court. Since I was not interested, I did not explore the criteria to be on the floor. The kids on the floor were apparently having a great time...
As with the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the role of basketball in the integration movement is reported... Which, interestingly enough, provides SPORTS as a socially important role in our society... Frankly, I agree strongly with that...
