About J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum

This museum sits within the University of Connecticut's Storrs campus and presents the school's sports history. It opened in 2002 in a roughly 2,700-square-foot space named for alumnus and benefactor Bob Donnelly. Visitors see championship trophies, trading cards, photographs, and memorabilia. A video wall of six screens replays moments of victory for the Huskies. A fiberglass statue of the mascot Jonathan greets guests at the entrance, and the Connecticut Basketball Rotunda features NCAA title trophies and life-size cutouts of two famous players.
