Information About

Hall Of Fame




A hall of fame is a type of Museum established for any a field of endeavour to honour individuals of noteworthy achievement in that field. In most cases, these halls of fame consist of actual halls or museums which enshrine the honourees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia. In other cases, the hall of fame is more figurative, and simply consists of a list of names of noteworthy individuals maintained by an organization. The opposite can be called a Hall Of Shame .

The first hall of fame created was the Hall Of Fame For Great Americans , established by New York University in 1900 . Arguably the most famous Hall of Fame is the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, New York , often simply referred to as ''the'' Hall of Fame, or ''Cooperstown.''
