Muzeum Legii im. Wiktora Bołby

About the museum

The Legia Warsaw Club Museum opened on 21 April 2006 to mark the club’s 90th anniversary. It was established on the initiative of Wiktor Bołba, a long-standing fan, journalist, writer and artist, who became the museum’s first curator and for years collected and saved memorabilia of the club’s history. Legia was founded in 1916, when the idea of a legion team was born among the Legions of Józef Piłsudski stationed in Volhynia.

The museum is located under the North Stand (Żyleta) of the stadium on ul. Łazienkowska, and the entrance leads from the club’s main entrance, next to the reception. The exhibition presents memorabilia of Lucjan Brychczy and Kazimierz Deyna, including shirts, boots and trophies, as well as an improvised mini Żyleta with original benches from earlier years. Beyond football, it presents the history of other sections of the club, including wrestling and fencing.

The collections include, among others, the first Olympic gold medal of Andrzej Wroński from Seoul in 1988, and trophies of other Olympians connected with Legia. Besides the permanent exhibition, the museum organised temporary exhibitions. The club’s website states that the museum is temporarily closed for renovation.
