The world's first International Cricket Hall of Fame exhibit is being officially opened in NSW on Sunday.
More than $7.4 million has been spent by the state government to honour the legacy of Sir Donald Bradman at Bowral, where he honed his skills.
The exhibition at Bradman Oval features state-of-the-art interactive displays and large scale high definition video of Bradman as well as other the greats of the game.
The Hall of Fame will be cemented as a world-class cricket icon, NSW Premier Kristina Keneally said.
"Bowral has long laid claim to being a key development ground for a young Don Bradman and the local Bradman Museum has both honoured his legacy and bolstered tourism in the Southern Highlands," she added.
"I commend the Bradman Foundation for taking its vision to the next level by establishing the new International Cricket Hall of Fame.
"Whether you're a die-hard cricket fan or simply interested in learning more about one of the world's most popular sports, the International Cricket Hall of Fame has something for the whole family."
Sport Minister Kevin Greene said he was "proud and delighted" by the investment.
"As the world's only International Cricket Hall of Fame, it is sure to attract more overseas visitors to NSW and reinforce our state's reputation as the cricket capital of Australia," he added.
The hall of fame opens to the public on November 29. For more information visit http://www.internationalcrickethall.com.

I'd rather visit Cooperstown.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
