The AEK History Museum was inaugurated in April 2024 and occupies the entire third floor of the building adjacent to AEK’s stadium in Nea Filadelfeia. Spread across 1,000 square meters, it showcases the history of the great refugee-founded club, from its establishment and early years to the present day.

The museum’s layout follows a chronological sequence. After passing through the first section, dedicated to the club’s founding and its Constantinopolitan founders, visitors enter the main exhibition, which includes four large display cases arranged as timelines, covering the club’s 101-year history.

At the center of the museum stands the trophy cabinet of AEK’s football team, while above it in the ceiling area, a glowing black-and-yellow double-headed eagle—the emblem of AEK and also of the Byzantine Empire—dominates the space. Around the museum, there are also display cases devoted to specific themes, such as notable presidents, coaches, AEK’s international honors, the Nea Filadelfeia stadium, and the club’s other departments, such as basketball, track and field, cycling, handball, etc., which have written their own chapters of glory.

A major attraction is the special section featuring historic AEK jerseys, which reference important moments and legendary footballers who have worn the club’s colors. At the end of the exhibition, there is a large display cabinet for rotating exhibitions, as well as the distinctive six cannons, each representing a legendary “gunner”, i.e. a top goal scorer in AEK’s history.

The museum features a balanced use of modern media and technology (projections on large LED screens, specialized audio-targeting devices, a photo booth, etc.) alongside hundreds of physical artifacts—heirlooms donated enthusiastically by supporters. As in the Museum of Refugee Hellenism, the AEK History Museum is filled with emotion—moving stories, nostalgia, and deep fan enthousiasm. It’s not uncommon for visitors, especially older ones, to be moved to tears in front of certain exhibits, that evoke their personal experiences and memories.

At the same time, the museum also appeals to children, for whom special activity programs are planned, to combine learning with entertainment. One such event was the Treasure Hunt organized during the Christmas holiday period, in which around 400 children participated.
