All-Sports Museum portrays Penn State's rich athletic history

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Penn State All-Sports Museum, located at the southwest corner of Beaver Stadium on Penn State’s University Park campus, has been a Nittany Lion fan's dream since it opened in 2002. Built to honor Penn State’s athletic achievements, the museum comprises 10,000 square feet of exhibits depicting the University’s lengthy history of successful athletes and teams. It also is home to the “Original Nittany Lion.

Exploring the interactive collection of the University’s men’s and women’s sports achievements, visitors are exposed to countless athletic awards won by Penn State students throughout its history.
