Cricket: Shyam Bhatia's Museum for the Ages in Dubai and beyond - in pictures

Cricket aficionado Shyam Bhatia takes great pride in his museum in Dubai and allowed Gulf News a tour inside - his famous collection on display seems never-ending and all-encompassing.

The extensive collection includes one-of-a-kind clippings from newspapers throughout the years.

And many rare books can be found among the memorabilia.

Signed cricket balls and bats adorn the museum from some of the most famous names in the game.

Bhatia received a letter of appreciation from the Japanese cricket team.

Bhatia has had many celebrity cricket visitors to his museum, including South Africa's Graeme Smith and the West Indies' Sir Viv Richards.

The man himself is happy to guide you round the museum, and explain what each piece means to him.

Classic magazines are also on display.

Bhatia's passion is never far away as he talks through his collection pieces.

And his collection in Dubai will continue to grow over the years to come.
