FANATTIC SPORTS MUSEUM - Kolkata, India

Located inside the Ecospace Business Park, Kolkata, the 3700 sq. ft., Fanattic Sports Museum is India’s first sports museum designed where a non-operational food court once stood. The project brief called for creating a unique, one-of-a-kind sports museum which would develop a conscious sports community. The challenge was to research and commission the project within a time span of two months using the least amount of capital resource. The building was also required to be designed on a 20-acre campus and be LEED’s Gold Rating compliant. Apart from presenting the city with a sports museum, the intent was also to inspire the corporate crowd on the campus to participate in a healthy dialogue on sports.

Personal collections and memorabilia collected by renowned sports journalist Boria Majumdar, for over 29 years, were to be showcased here. At present the museum houses 133 exhibits, 60 graphic boards and 10 life-size cut-outs of sportsmen which create photo-ops for the Insta-generation. There are over 18 videos to watch, an indoor stage, a deck theater which can accommodate 50 people along with a retail outlet that sells exclusive sports merchandise.
