About the Exhibition
AVAM’s 29th Mega-exhibit investigates humanity’s enduring preoccupation with sports - from the Coliseum to the backyard - to arrive at a better comprehension of our human nature. Herein we praise the capacity of sports to impart important ethical lessons of fairness and civility, such as being a gracious winner and never a sore loser.
