Izložba koju su organizirali Hrvatska olimpijska akademija (HOA) i Hrvatski športski muzej u suradnji s Hrvatskim olimpijskim odborom (HOO) i Hrvatskim društvom olimpijske filatelije i memorabilije (HDOFM), pokazala je bogatu arhivsku, muzejsku i knjižnu građu Bučareve ostavštine koju je predstavila ravnateljica muzeja Đurđica Bojanić najavljujući i službeno otvorenje stalnog postava na adresi Praška 2. Franjo Bučar, dokazani promicatelj novih športova toga vremena, bio je prvi član Međunarodnog olimpijskog odbora iz Hrvatske (1919. - 1946.), zalagavši se da hrvatski športaš dobije svoju međunarodnu prigodu nastupa pod vlastitim stijegom. Osnovao je u Zagrebu prvu Višu školu za nastavnike tjelesnog odbora, Hrvatski športski savez (1909.), Jugoslavenski olimpijski odbor (1919.); Društvo učitelja gimnastike tadašnje Hrvatske i Slavonije, ali i druga strukovna udruženja i klubove. Dokazani promicatelj novih športova toga vremena, Franjo Bučar ostavio nam je u nasljeđe više od dvadeset autorskih knjiga iz područja športa, te brojne članke u monografijama, enciklopedijama, listovima i časopisima, a u nekima od njih je bio i urednik. Umro je u Zagrebu 26. prosinca 1946. godine, a po njemu je nazvana najviša Državna nagrada za šport koju Republika Hrvatska dodjeljuje od osamostaljenja 1991. godine za iznimna postignuća u razvitku športa. U znak sjećanja na dan rođenja ovog hrvatskog velikana međunarodnog olimpizma, glavni tajnik HOO-a Josip Čop i voditeljica projekata promicanja olimpizma HOA-e i bivša vrhunska košarkašica, olimpijka Danira Nakić Bilić, položili su cvijeće na njegov grob na Mirogoju u Zagrebu.
