Casa Milan

Home to the legacy of AC Milan, from 1899 to today.

Casa Milan is the official museum and store for Associazione Calcio Milan, serving as the central hub where fans engage with the club's extensive history. Located in Milan, this facility allows supporters to explore the legacy of one of Italy's most successful teams, which was founded in 1899 by Herbert Kilpin. The space showcases the journey from early championships in 1901 through the dominant eras under Silvio Berlusconi, who bought the club in 1986. It highlights key moments such as the unbeaten Serie A title in 1991–92 (though not the first unbeaten season in Serie A history) and the club's seven European Cup/Champions League victories, offering a tangible connection to the achievements of legendary figures like Gianni Rivera, Marco van Basten, and Paolo Maldini.

Lore & Background

The narrative within Casa Milan spans over a century of football history, beginning with the club's foundation as Milan Cricket and Foot-Ball Club in late December 1899. It details the split in 1908 that led to the creation of Inter Milan and the subsequent rivalry known as the Derby della Madonnina. The exhibits cover the return to glory in the 1950s with the Swedish trio Gre-No-Li, winning Scudetti in 1951, 1955, 1957, and 1959. The story continues through the Totonero scandal that led to relegation in 1980, before detailing the club's promotion back to Serie A and a subsequent relegation in 1982 due to poor performance, and then Silvio Berlusconi's acquisition in February 1986.
