Hall of Fame

A hall of fame is a type of museum established for any a field of endeavour to honour individuals of noteworthy achievement in that field. In most cases, these halls of fame consist of actual halls or museums which enshrine the honourees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia. In other cases, the hall of fame is more figurative, and simply consists of a list of names of noteworthy individuals maintained by an organization. The opposite can be called a hall of shame.
