The Paul W. Bryant Museum recently became a member of University of Alabama Museums, joining a group of several institutions overseen by UA’s College of Arts and Sciences.

“The administrative move of the Paul W. Bryant Museum to UA Museums makes so much sense,” said Bill Bomar, executive director of UA Museums. “Museums of all types play important roles in connecting people to the past through inspirational and engaging encounters with real objects and specimens. Whether the story being told is centered on ancient Native Americans, Alabama’s biodiversity or the rich history of athletics at the University of Alabama, the methods and principles behind the museum informal learning medium and the preservation and management of collections are the same.”

The Bryant Museum opened in 1988 and features exhibits, artifacts and memorabilia that celebrate the history and tradition of Crimson Tide football. Thousands of people visit the museum each year, especially in the fall on UA football game days.
