The team at MADE had the pleasure of visiting the Australian Sporting Museum located in Melbourne at the home of sport – the MCG!
The museum received a full overhaul in 2019 reopening in February 2020 filled with meticulously curated and presented displays. From AFL to the Olympics, this is truly a space for the avid sports lover.
Over the past few years MADE has been supplying to The Australian Sporting Museum with Window France male and female fabric busts used to display some of Australia’s most famous sporting gear!
Below are a few of our favorites from the tour…
