FC Porto Museum

FC Porto Museum is a football museum in Porto dedicated to the history of FC Porto, one of Portugal's most decorated clubs. It sits inside the modern Estádio do Dragão complex and pairs a club-history exhibition with a stadium tour.

When did the museum open?

The museum was inaugurated on 28 September 2013, marking the club's 120th anniversary, and welcomed the general public from 26 October that year. For sponsorship reasons its official name is FC Porto Museum by BMG.

What will you see?

The exhibition is split into 27 themed areas that trace the club from its beginnings to the present day. Expect interactive stations, multimedia displays and the trophies the team has won, including those tied to its European triumphs and Champions League titles.

A dedicated section honours managers who shaped the club: José Maria Pedroto, Artur Jorge, Bobby Robson, António Oliveira, José Mourinho and André Villas-Boas. Profiles of many of the club's greatest players round out the story.

Can you tour the stadium too?

Yes. The visit typically combines the museum with a stadium tour. It leads through areas normally reserved for players and officials: the pitch, the dugout, the away dressing room, the press conference room and the presidential box. Visitors can also pose for a photo with a replica of the Champions League trophy.
