Even though this museum is relatively young in terms of when it was created, it covers a whole lot of history in a very credible fashion. The National Museum of Real Tennis located in Ath, Belgium in a stunning 17th century building, was opened in 2001 with the specific task to promote the increbibly long and rich history of ball games in Belgium. The idea was to bring to the fore and educate people about Belgium's sporting and cultural heritage.

The National Museum of Real Tennis's permanent exhibition offers you a bird's eye view of the world of ball games. Now you might just be thinking, let's just play ball, but for the sports enthusiast this is a great chance to understand the history and origins of the games. It's not just new materials you will find here either. You will see an amazing collection of old items and documents that cover the journey of ball games in Belgium. Interesting note: the museum also covers ball games in other countries – tennis, cricket, baseball etc.
