Listing Details
Adelaide Oval is widely regarded as the most picturesque test cricket ground in the world with St Peter's Cathedral rising behind an elegant Edwardian scoreboard and Moreton Bay fig trees at the northern end. The ground was established following the formation of the South Australian Cricket Association in 1871. The Adelaide Oval Museum was officially opened in 1995 and displays a comprehensive range of objects and memorabilia relating to the history of Adelaide Oval. While there is an obvious emphasis on cricket memorabilia, some of the Oval's rich football history is also on display. Other sporting and recreational activities which have been held on the ground are also featured. The museum is located on the first level of the Sir Donald Bradman Stand. The museum operates in conjunction with Adelaide Oval tours.
