Welcome to the Fans Museum

The Fans Museum is a unique celebration of football heritage, passion and people. Based in Sunderland, it brings the beautiful game to life through an incredible collection of memorabilia, interactive exhibitions and community events that connect generations of supporters.

More than just a museum, it’s a place where memories are shared, stories are told, and fans of all ages can experience football’s impact beyond the pitch. The museum regularly visits schools, care homes, and community centres across the region, using football to inspire conversation, reduce isolation, and support wellbeing.

From iconic shirts and medals to personal keepsakes donated by supporters, every item has a story — and every visitor becomes part of the museum’s journey. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the game, The Fans Museum is where football’s heart truly beats.
