The history of American football and the Detroit Lions

The exhibition shows the sport as a global phenomenon with fans all over the world. Together with the Detroit Lions as co-hosts, the fascination of this game comes to life.
From April 27 to June 8, 2025, the exhibition presents exclusive original exhibits directly from Detroit - including historic jerseys, game balls and personal memorabilia, many of which are on display outside the USA for the first time. A special focus is on Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Lions' German-American wide receiver. With roots in Leverkusen, he is one of the most successful German-speaking NFL players and represents the connection between the USA and Germany like no other.
Interactive stations in the exhibition invite visitors to join in: Here, visitors can experience what a football feels like, compete with the NFL's greatest talents and test their own throwing technique.
Whether you are a long-time fan or curious about your first touchdown - this exhibition is an invitation to all museum visitors to discover American football up close.
A visit to the exhibition is included in the museum admission price.
