New Detroit Lions Exhibit Opening At The Detroit Historical Museum

DETROIT — A Detroit Lions exhibit is opening at the Detroit Historical Museum this weekend.

The exhibit opens Saturday, just before the Lions play the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ford Field in their final preseason game before the 2024-25 season starts.

The exhibit, called "Detroit Lions: Gridiron Heroes" will focus on the team's success between the 1930s and 1950s. It will include trophies, historic uniforms and rarely-seen Lions artifacts from the team's archives and the hall of fame.

There will also be a display featuring Lions hall of fame players and the team's new uniforms. Guests can also pose with the historic memorabilia.

"We couldn’t be prouder than to have the Lions’ team history highlighted at the Detroit Historical Museum as we launch the 2024-2025 season," Senior Vice President of Marketing and Brand for the Detroit Lions Emily Griffin said. "There’s something remarkable to uncover in every era and it was a lot of fun to pore through our archives looking for artifacts to share. We hope the fans will have just as much fun discovering them as we did."

The exhibit will have a permanent place in the museum, and it will supported by the Lions, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Gilbert Family Foundation and Visit Detroit.

The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
