If you are ever in Tuscaloosa be sure to visit this museum. It is not large, taking less than an hour for a thorough tour. There is much history and great trivia here covering the life of Bear Bryant. Be sure to check out the Heisman Trophy for the ONLY Heisman winner that the Bear ever coached - John David Crowe at Texas A&M University !!
The Bryant Museum not only chronicles the life of college football's greatest coach but also the history of one the the sport's most successful programs. Don't miss the chance to see and hear the history of Crimson Tide football.
You could spend a couple of hours or just a few minutes in this museum. I would recommend a walk around campus in addition to the museum visit. Lots of photos, trophies, and memorabilia for University of Alabama fans. Close by attractions also worth visiting are Coleman Coliseum (right across the road), Denny-Chimes, and Bryan-Denny Stadium. The UA campus is beautiful and worth a walking visit.
If you are an Alabama fan or just a college football fan, this is a must see. I always make it a point to visit because they update it every year and it is neat to see the additions.
Even people who are not Alabama fans will appreciate this museum. It is a must see for all Bama fans!
I love ALABAMA football,history and traditions. I visit at least 3 times a year and it never gets old because they always add new exciting programs, items and memorabilia! RTR and Go BAMA.
When you visit the museum a person will find the answers to a lot of the traditions and what it truly means when you say "Roll Tide". The museum shares the rich southern history of what the University of Alabama is all about. Coach Bryant's office has been reconstructed so you have an inside perspective of what our beloved coach saw daily. Then they have added much valued items from Coach Saban's so that you can see what the new level of Alabama Football has to offer. Loyal fan or visiting team fan can learn new things about a way of life not just a Saturday in the fall of the year. A must see
Wonderful presentation of Alabama's football history; mostly Bear Bryant but extending back to Alabama football's roots. A must-see while in T-Town.
I have visited the museum a few times and must say that I see something new that I may have missed during my first visit. I love the history and memorabilia -- it's a wonderful place to visit.
As a reward for my oldest son's graduation from college, I took him to the 2014 Iron Bowl. While we were enjoying the day, we decided to stop in at the Bryant Museum. Its a very nice, small museum that is full of the historical significance of football at the University of Alabama and what the men before "The Bear" and after have accomplished. I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested not only in Alabama's football tradition, but to anyone interested in football and history. You can walk through quickly in under an hour, but slow down and take it all in.
