Collecting sports historical materials for the Central Union became the heart of former professional wrestler Tõnu Võimula.

[1] After the Second World War, Tõnu Võimula bequeathed both the idea and the materials he collected to Johannes Laidvere, who taught sports history at Tartu State University at the time.

[1] The committee acted effectively, and already on January 28, 1963, the Presidium of the Council of the Union of Sports Associations and Organizations of the Estonian SSR approved the statutes and personnel of the museum.

[1] In the second half of the 1990s, the sports museum's collections expanded rapidly, which is why the previous home in the wing building of Tartu St. Paul's Church began to seem small.

A year and a half was spent on archaeological excavations and supporting the foundation, then the old walls of the building also received new content.

The house received reinforced concrete false ceilings and a mansard floor, and medieval masonry remains were excavated in the basement and preserved.

The initial agreement for the Foundation was signed on April 14, 2016 by the then Minister of Culture Indrek Saar and the President of the Estonian Olympic Committee Neinar Seli.

Each of the Hall of Famer's gets a special recognition in this room with an honorary plate, highlight reel of their career and an overview of their greatest achievements.

The new additional point of view allows not only to get acquainted with several significant things, but also opens up their background and raises various topics for discussion.

Extreme sports can be called all areas, the practice of which requires a view that pushes the limits of human abilities and a little more courage and dexterity.

This exhibition examined his recordings from the complex post-war years 1947–1953, which focused primarily on the practical side of doing sports.

In cooperation with several collectors and representatives of the Estonian Football Association, 24 jerseys with a dignified past, which belonged to the teams participating in the EC, were acquired for the exhibition.

– Considering the current health situation in the world, it was a sin for the researchers and curators of the Sports Museum not to discuss this topic.

However, the purpose of the temporary exhibition was not to reflect the mask craze that accompanied the coronavirus, but rather specific face coverings that protect athletes in their daily work.
