Match of the Day @ 60
Celebrate 60 years of the BBC’s flagship football programme with a special exhibition, charting its remarkable evolution through the decades.

First class museum. Learned an awful lot more about a game I’ve followed for 20 years. Fascinating history and amazing to see some artefacts up close. Could easily go again as I’m sure there was a lot I missed, even despite spending two hours there. Loved the different themes on each floor. Child friendly too with plenty of ‘hands on’ experiences.
Really fun and great value for money. Loads of interactive stuff for adults and kids alike. Well worth a visit!
Great experience for our children, in particular, our 7-year-old football-loving son. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable and we loved all the interactive activities to keep the children moving. We will definitely be back to get the most out of our year-long ticket.
Modern, fully accessible building with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Take a trip through footballing history looking at the last 100 or so years and how that shaped what we know as football today. Lots of memorabilia to take you back through time and maybe relive your youth or cup final appearances!
I visited your museum, and I just want to give thanks to the staff that I met. The staff that helped me in the Pitch Gallery and the Match Gallery were excellent. I had a Sunderland shirt on, and they told me what to watch out for and they give me information that I did not know. Special recommendation for the young lady in the Dugout Cafe. She was courteous and she answered the questions that I had given her about the transport links and the neighbour area.
In the last 9 months I visited a lot of attractions sites and museums, but this one was the best because of the staff interactions. In conclusion, I enjoyed the museum, and I give thanks to your staff. You made my day.
