The Sydney Swans was established as South Melbourne FC in 1874. Ours is one of the oldest football clubs in the world. A founding member of the VFL, the club's relocation to Sydney in 1982 was the genesis of today's AFL national competition. Our football club is one with a truly unique and rich history.

It is a story to celebrate, protect, and preserve for future generations. A story that must be told. The Sydney Swans Museum captures 150 years of evolution, development, crisis, heartache, and triumph. Where we have come from and who we are today. Our DNA. It will celebrate the people, the events, and the defining moments that have shaped our club.

A visit to our museum will deliver a spiritual-like experience. You will not only see and touch our history in a physical way - you will experience it in a profound, emotional way. You will sense the presence of your heroes, both current day and greats from another time. 

The Museum will reflect the club's resilience. Its ability to endure in the face of great adversity. Its longevity. Its courage. Its values. Its honesty. The honesty and accountability required to compete at the highest level for 150 years.
