The MCC Museum is the world's oldest sporting museum and, to this
day, it remains both world-class and world-famous. Best-known for being the home
of The Ashes. Other popular attractions include the stuffed sparrow that was
'bowled out' by Jehangir Khan in 1936, and the copy of Wisden that helped to
sustain E.W. 'Jim' Swanton throughout his captivity, in a Japanese
prisoner-of-war camp, during the Second World War. Other displays include
cricket kit used by some of the greatest players of all time, such as Victor
Trumper, Jack Hobbs, Don Bradman and Shane Warne.
