Hall of fame

A hall of fame is a type of museum established for any a field of endeavor to honor individuals of noteworthy achievement in that field.

In some cases, these halls of fame consist of actual halls or museums which enshrine the honorees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia. In others the hall of fame is more figurative and simply consists of a list of names of noteworthy individuals maintained by an organization or community.

The Walhalla Temple in Bavaria, Germany, is an early Hall of Fame, conceived in 1807 and built between 1830 and 1842.
