About
The FIFA World Football Museum is an interactive museum in Zurich, Switzerland, devoted to the history of football and the passion it inspires around the world. It is also known simply as the FIFA Museum. The building sits at Seestrasse 27 in the city's 8002 postcode, on the shore of Lake Zurich, which makes it an easy addition to a day of walking along the water.
What you will see
The museum's collection centres on the game and the people who shaped it. Visitors can view the original FIFA World Cup trophy and a range of memorabilia from football legends from many countries. The emphasis is on interaction, so the displays invite you to take part rather than simply look at glass cases.
