Information About

Hall Of Fame




A hall of fame (sometimes '''HOF''') is a type of Museum established for any a field of endeavour to honour individuals of noteworthy achievement in that field. In some 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 of hall of fame is called hall of shame (sometimes '''HOS''').
