Opened on December 19, 2008, imagine stepping into a realm where football history intertwines with passionate fan culture. This is the Borusseum, Borussia Dortmund’s club museum. It stands proudly next to the Signal Iduna Park. It is easily accessible from the city center.
The Borusseum isn’t just a museum. It’s a tribute to the club’s sporting triumphs and its devoted supporters. The fan department of BVB played a vital role in its creation. They ensured the museum showcases the unique tradition of BVB’s fan culture. In fact, no other club museum gives such importance to the history of its fans.
After a decade of continuous operation, the Borusseum underwent a complete makeover. The renovated museum features new content and the latest technology. It evokes memories and emotions in every BVB fan.
Among the newly exhibited artifacts, you’ll find the five major trophies. Admire the Bundesliga trophy and the DFB-Pokal. Marvel at the Champions League trophy, Intercontinental Cup, and European Cup Winners’ Cup. They are all housed in the new treasure chamber.
The Borusseum caters to all ages. Younger visitors can follow the children’s trail. The content is explained in a child-friendly way by stadium announcer Nobby Dickel. The game zone provides a fun contrast to the exhibits behind display glass. Some exhibits are even touchable.
You can explore the Borusseum on your own. Or you can join expert-guided tours. The Borusseum also hosts special events and temporary exhibitions. Beyond its function as a club museum, it serves as a communication center. It hosts social, traditional, and entertaining events.
The Borusseum champions values like tolerance, diversity, and democracy. These values are part of BVB’s statutes. The annual events on January 27 commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz.
Unlike other football museums, the Borusseum remains independent of sponsors. The exhibition spaces are advertising-free zones.
A visit to the Borusseum is a must for anyone with a black and yellow heart. Experiencing the club’s journey reminds us that players, officials, and fans come and go. But one thing remains: Borussia Dortmund will never go under.
Before you leave, remember to visit the BVB Fan World. It’s a huge fan shop near the stadium. You can find over 1000 different items. The fan shop also offers tickets, stadium tours, and BVB club memberships. The Borussia Dortmund club has around 150,000 members.
