The D.C. Public Library is calling on sports memorabilia collectors around the region to contribute to an upcoming exhibition.
“We’re inviting District residents and anybody with a connection to D.C. sports to lend us their objects,” the library system’s executive director, Richard Reyes-Gavilan, said. “Those objects and those stories are going to be part of a massive, citywide exhibition between April and October of 2027.”
It was announced Tuesday morning at a presentation at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. Reyes-Gavilan said 2027 will be one the “most exciting” years for sports in D.C.
“Capital One Arena will reopen following a three-year modernization and transformation,” he said. “A new stadium for the Washington Commanders will be breaking ground, that’s also very cool. D.C. is going to host this little event called the NFL Draft.”
