The futuristic term, Sportimonium, is derived from the Latin word for heritage: 'patrimonium'. Sportimonium wishes to preserve and enrich this living sports heritage. Sportimonium is not a closed, antiquarian collection but a living resource for the past, present and future of sport.

 The valuable collection is brought together in the beach-house of the Bloso-domain of Hofstade and is accessible to the public.
