49ERS MUSEUM OPENS TO THE PUBLIC ON AUGUST 8

Thursday, August 7, 2014

Beginning this Friday, August 8th, the 49ers Museum presented by Sony will be open to the public featuring daily admission with specialized hours designated for the gameday experience. Ticket purchases and additional information are available at LevisStadium.com/Museum and the Visa Box Office at Levi’s® Stadium.

The Museum – a first-class celebration of the 49ers past, present and future – features 11 unique gallery and exhibit spaces. The journey begins in the main lobby at the Trending Gallery, where you will learn what’s new with the team and the space. From there you’ll move to the Morabito Theater to watch the 49ers signature film and then into the Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr. 49ers Hall of Fame where you’ll walk amongst the 49ers greats. Our Heritage Gallery innovatively illuminates the history of the team through artifacts and multimedia exhibits and leads perfectly into the active In the Game Gallery on the lower level. Your visit will end reliving the memories of the 49ers five Super Bowl Championships in front of the Lombardi Trophies.

MUSEUM GALLERIES:

TRENDING — Welcome! Step into our augmented reality scene, take in our What’s Happening display—which features 49ers social media and Web site content, and everything you will want to know about what’s happening in the Museum—or have a seat in some of Candlestick’s original seats.

MORABITO THEATER — Inside the theater—which seats 90 and features a 50’ x 18’ screen and Sony 4K technology—you’ll be inspired by the story of the 49ers as told through film.

EDWARD J. DEBARTOLO, SR. 49ERS HALL OF FAME — Walk amongst life-statues of our Hall of Famers in their signature poses. Snap a photo next to Coach Bill Walsh, stand beside Jerry Rice or put yourself in the huddle with the Million Dollar Backfield.

TEAM — Listen to our alumni tell you first-person stories about what it was like to play for the 49ers, or enjoy an interactive database that allows visitors to learn more about every player that ever wore a 49ers uniform.

BILL WALSH INNOVATION — This re-creation of Coach Walsh’s Redwood City office serves as both a treasure trove of artifacts and the home of a feature film on Coach Walsh. Also enjoy the Bill Walsh Coaching Universe, an interactive exhibit that chronicles the coach’s vast impact on the coaching ranks of professional football.

HERITAGE — This era-by-era display of historical items, stories, interactive exhibits and one-of-a-kind artifacts is engaging on every level. Spanning the years of 1946 until the present day, guests will leave the Heritage gallery with a deep appreciation for the history and tradition that are so important to the 49ers organization.

SPIRIT — The 49ers have long been known as innovators when it comes to the fan experience. Here, guests can take in the history behind the team’s mascots, in-game entertainment and other joyful elements of football.

DENISE DEBARTOLO YORK EDUCATION CENTER — The pillar around which the Museum’s education program is built, this state-of-the-art classroom serves more than 20,000 Bay Area children annually and also offers content on how the 49ers impact the community in many positive ways.

IN THE GAME — Get ready to engage with the game of football. In the Game offers multiple interactive challenges and exhibits, including a passing and kicking simulator, Be the Broadcaster, and the Gridiron Challenge, a series of motion-driven, gesture-based challenges that bring out the athlete, cheerleader, uniform designer and touchdown scorer in everyone.

BY THE NUMBERS – Numbers are a huge part of the game of football, so we made them an intriguing part of our Museum. Take a stroll through a mosaic of figures that have a special significance to the red & gold.

SUPER BOWLS — The home to the 49ers five Lombardi trophies and the rings associated with each championship is each guest’s last stop in the Museum. Enjoy the photo opportunity while you take in yet another feature film on what it was like to be a part of 49ers history.
