Arsenal Football Club Museum

A crisp, object-led history of Arsenal from Dial Square (1886) to the Emirates era. Match-used shirts and boots, trophies and medals, Highbury artefacts and women’s titles tell the club’s story through things you can point to. Ideal for pairing with a stadium tour, but strong enough on its own if you want the canonical moments and the people who made them.

What's not to miss inside?

The Invincibles (2003–04)

Objects from the 38-match unbeaten league season put texture on a once-in-a-century achievement.

From squad shirts to match balls, the display maps a run that stretched to 49 games unbeaten across seasons.

Count how many match types are represented (league, FA Cup, Europe) and relate them to the 49-game sequence.

📍 Premier League era cases

Anfield ’89: Champions in Injury Time

Match-used kit and ephemera from Michael Thomas’s last-minute goal capture one of English football’s defining finishes.

The object trail leads from the away dressing room to that run through the middle—and a title on goal difference.

Find the timeline panel and align a displayed item (e.g., boots or shirt) to the minute it mattered.

📍 Late-1980s gallery

Highbury: The Marble Halls

Architectural fragments, signage and memorabilia preserve the Art Deco identity that defined Arsenal from 1913 to 2006.

From the cannon crest to marble-hall details, these pieces explain why a building became part of the badge.

Match an Art Deco motif on a fragment to the crest evolution shown nearby.

📍 Heritage & stadium history

Arsenal Women: Serial Winners

Trophies, shirts and photos chart the most decorated women’s club in England, including a 2006–07 continental treble.

Medals and match balls frame a dominance that predates the recent WSL boom.

Locate one European trophy item and trace the route diagram to the final.

📍 Honours & modern era

Foundations: From Woolwich to North London

Early programmes, tickets and team photos follow the leap from Dial Square (1886) to professional Arsenal and the 1913 move to Highbury.

Paper trails show how a works team became a national name.

Compare a Woolwich Arsenal item with a first-season Highbury programme to see the rebrand in print.
