Description

The J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum is a public museum located on the University of Connecticut's main campus at Storrs, Connecticut. The museum documents and celebrates UConn's intercollegiate athletics. Opening its doors on January 19, 2002, the 2,700-square-foot museum was named in honor of benefactor and 1940 Connecticut basketball and football captain J. Robert (Bob) Donnelly (1971-2005). Exhibits include national and regional championship trophies, trading cards, photographs, and various sports memorabilia, as well as a six-screen video wall replaying moments of triumph for the UConn Huskies. A life-size fiberglass sculpture of Jonathan the Husky, UConn's mascot, greets visitors at the museum entrance.[2] The Connecticut Basketball Rotunda, featuring NCAA championship trophies and life-size cutouts of Ray Allen and Rebecca Lobo, is among the museum's permanent exhibits.[3]
