Hall of Fame

|
Various fields of endeavour have established Halls of Fame that honour individuals of noteworthy achievement in their respective fields. In many cases, these Halls of Fame consist of actual sites or museums which honour those who are enshrined. In other cases, the Hall of Fame is more figurative, and simply consists of a list of names of noteworthy individuals. The opposite can be called a Hall of Shame.
The first Hall of Fame created was the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, established by New York University in 1900.
