Museum In Murray’s Home Town Create Andy Murray Exhibit
At age 25, Andy Murray is not quite ready to qualify as a museum piece, but that’s exactly what an enthusiastic museum in his hometown has put on display in its exhibit dedicated to the world No. 2 local son is in the work at Dunblane.
And the civic pride project has the full backing of his mother and first coach, Judy.
While Roger Federer has had a Swiss stamp issued in his tennis honor, the museum set-up is likely some kind of first in the sport. But after all, the first British man to win a Grand Slam event (US Open) in 76 year as deserves some kind of official recognition.
British tabloid press report that the exhibit features souvenirs of Murray’s playing career to date and replicas of his Olympic gold and silver medals. Also on display: programs from the last three Wimbledons, passes, a racquet he used on court and his Team GB Olympic blouson.
The exhibit got a viewing from Fed Cup coach Judy who pronounced it the perfect tribute to her record-setting son. “New Andy Murray exhibit in the Dunblane Museum. Hometown love,” she tweeted. The local museum is run by volunteers, many of them no doubt tennis fans, and has been around for seven decades.
“It was natural that we should want to mark Andy’s great success and the pride we feel in his achievements,” said the proud curator. “The museum reopened for Easter and Judy popped in to see the display shortly after.”
