The Department of Physical Education and Sports History of The National Museum administrates the oldest museum collection of exhibits and materials in the Czech Republic focusing on sports, physical education and olympism history not only in Czech lands, but also abroad. The crucial and considerable problem is the absence of a permanent exhibition, which would facilitate a systematic and permanent communication not only with non-professional public, but also with sport and museum professionals. This is a common practice abroad where various sport and olympic museums are an integral part of national cultural heritage. There has not been a permanent exhibition of Czech sport for twenty years and thus various local and private museums substitute its non-existence. Presentation of sport, physical education and olympic historic collection of the National Museum is thus doubtful. The situation in other countries in Central Europe is completely different. This paper deals with the history of The Department of Physical Education and Sports History collection, summarizes the situation in the Czech Republic and in other countries of the Visegrad group. At the end, the paper offers possible approaches that could be adopted in future practice.
