Hollywood Walk of Fame, Los Angeles, California, U.S.

A hall, wall, or walk of fame is a list of individuals, achievements, or other entities, usually chosen by a group of electors, to mark their excellence, accomplishments and fame in their field. In some cases, these halls of fame consist of actual halls or museums that enshrine the honorees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia and general information regarding the inducted recipients. Sometimes, the honorees' plaques may instead be posted on a wall (hence a "wall of fame") or inscribed on a sidewalk (as in a "walk of fame", "walk of stars", or "avenue of fame"). In other cases, the hall of fame is more figurative and consists of a list of names of noteworthy people and their achievements and contributions. The lists are maintained by an organization or community, and may be national, state, local, or private. Template:TOC right

Etymology

The term "hall of fame" first appeared in German with the Ruhmeshalle, built in 1853 in Munich.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The Walhalla memorial in Bavaria was conceived in 1807 and built between 1830 and 1842.Template:Citation needed

Inspired by the Ruhmeshalle, the English-language term was popularised in the United States by the Hall of Fame for Great Americans,<ref name="nyt-2007-10-12">Template:Cite news</ref> a sculpture gallery dedicated in 1901.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Located in the Bronx in New York City, it is on the campus of Bronx Community College (until 1973 the University Heights campus of New York University).<ref name="nyt-2007-10-12" />

The meaning of fame has changed over the years, originally meaning 'renown' for achievement, as opposed to today's more common meaning of 'celebrity'.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
