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. The museum is housed in the historic Monkwearmouth Station building, a Grade II* listed former railway station dating from 1848.
