Club history in the museum

The museum sits within San Mames, Athletic Club’s home stadium. Its exhibits use historic photographs, trophies and interactive screens to tell the story of the club and its place in Bilbao. The displays also cover the club’s tactics and strategy, giving visitors a way to explore the sporting side of its history.

A Hall of Fame honours notable players, coaches and presidents with busts. The museum also includes a playroom, making it a possible stop for families visiting the stadium. Its mix of historical objects and interactive exhibits gives the visit more to explore than a display of memorabilia alone.

Through the stadium

The tour continues beyond the museum into parts of San Mames. Visitors can access areas that include the changing rooms and press area, and sit in the club president’s chair. These stops offer a closer look at the spaces connected with match days and the club’s work around the pitch.

The stadium is described as modern, and the museum visit is a way to see its interior as well as learn about Athletic Club. An audio guide can extend the visit to more than two hours. Bring your own phone and headphones if you plan to use it.
