In 1981, legendary Crimson Tide football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant suggested the establishment of a museum to honor the players and coaches who forged the greatest tradition in college football.
Today, the Paul W. Bryant Museum relives the glory of the Crimson Tide's 12 national championships and those who became gridiron legends.
The museum, which opened in 1988, traces the history of Crimson Tide football with artifacts, original artwork, and memorabilia. Videos produced from film archives highlight the legendary coaches, plays, and players. The Paul W. Bryant Museum Research Library is available to the public with books, programs, media guides, articles, photographs, audiotapes, and films on a variety of sports.
The Paul W. Bryant Museum is building 58 on the campus map.
