The spectacular Arsenal Museum at Emirates Stadium is open in the Northern Triangle Building. It had been previously housed inside the North Bank Stand of Arsenal's Highbury stadium from the stand's opening in 1993 to 2006, when Highbury was closed and redeveloped. Today, the museum attracts over 120,000 visitors a year.
Arsenal supporters can explore here exhibits that include Michael Thomas' boots from Anfield '89, Charlie George's FA Final Cup shirt from 1971, as well as a recently-donated array of memorabilia. The museum also houses the shirts worn by goalscorers Jon Sammels and Alan Smith in the 1970 Fairs Cup Final and 1994 European Cup Winners Cup Final victories, medals, shirts and caps belonging to David O'Leary, Lee Dixon, Brian Marwood and many others. There is also a customised trophy on display that was presented to the club by the FA Premier League for remaining unbeaten throughout the 2003/04 season.
Moreover it offers a chance to take in many exhibits kindly donated by former players who hold a special place in Arsenal's history. The museum also features an impressive Legends Theatre and more than a dozen fully interactive sections based on Arsenal's proud history such as Championship winning managers, The Invincibles, The Arsenal Spirit and Highbury Stadium.
Visiting this museum is one of the most popular attractions in London. Tourists can enjoy a tour of the Emirates Stadium, payment for which entitles you to free entry to the museum.
The Arsenal Museum currently is open every day of the week from 10am to 6 pm, but on matchdays it is only open from 10am till half an hour before kick-off.
There is no doubt that this is a very cozy museum that's a must-see for any true Arsenal fan, but quite entertaining for the non-football fan alike.
