The MCC museum at Lord's has been given the thumbs up from this week's Time Out magazine.

t is the top-placed sports museum in the 'Time Out' review and, overall, it is rated fourth out of the 50 museums featured in the new edition - which is published today (Wednesday 7th June).

Readers of the magazine, the capital's leading leisure and entertainment guide, are encouraged to visit the Museum to see its extraordinary collection of cricket art and artefacts - including the world-renowned Ashes urn and the famous 'stuffed sparrow' from 1936.

The displays in the MCC Museum - the oldest sporting museum in the world - benefit from the fact that Marylebone Cricket Club has been collecting cricket memorabilia for almost 150 years.

More info on this at the official Lord's website.
