"All these little things help to preserve the club's historical heritage. A colourful collection of all sorts of exhibits that have been donated to FC Bayern in the course of its 126-year-long history. Around 1,500 of these so-called donations are registered in the archive, a considerable amount in the context of - including loans and club property - around 8,000 exhibits in total."
"They come from former players, from family estates, the deepest corners of basements; from fans and fan clubs, private individuals as well as organisations and colleagues. And they often tell stories that explain the history of FC Bayern in more detail, or even add to it. They're all registered in a large database as great, lasting sources of club history."
FC Bayern Museum maintains an extensive archive of approximately 1,500 registered donations from its 126-year history, part of a total collection of 8,000 exhibits. These items originate from former players, family estates, fans, and private individuals, ranging from worn goalkeeper gloves and silver watches to historic paintings and documents. The archive director Laura Nicolaiciuc oversees these treasures, which are catalogued in a comprehensive database. While not all historically valuable items appear in exhibitions, the lesser-known donations provide crucial insights into the club's detailed history. These artifacts become particularly valuable during special exhibitions, research projects, and social media campaigns, serving as lasting sources of FC Bayern's heritage.
