Discover more about The Bradman Collection

The Bradman Collection, found inside the Riverbank Stand at Adelaide Oval, pays homage to Sir Donald Bradman, an Australian icon and arguably the best cricketer of all time. The museum, which is free to enter, houses a remarkable assortment of Bradman's personal cricket memorabilia, spanning the years 1927 to 1977. Visitors can explore a variety of exhibits, including his 1948 'baggy green' Australian Test cap from the tour of England with 'The Invincibles,' and the bat he used to score a then-world record Test score of 334 against England in 1930. The collection also features trophies, clothing, and interactive displays, offering an engaging experience for cricket enthusiasts and those interested in Australian sporting history. A theatrette shows footage of Bradman in action. Originally, it was Bradman's wish to have his collection housed at Adelaide Oval, which was realized in 2008, coinciding with the centenary of his birth. Today, the South Australian Cricket Association, in collaboration with the Premier's Department, the State Library, and the Bradman family, serves as the custodian of this world-class exhibition.
