With the opening of the CR7 Life Museum in Hong Kong, Cristiano Ronaldo has become global – an immersive homage to his football triumph and the personal trip behind his legend.
Officially opened on July 7th in K11 Mussea in Tsim Sha Tsui, the attraction, which is massive 12,000 square meters, entered the world of Ronaldo as thousands of fans.
The museum houses over 40 exclusive exhibits, from match jerseys and boots to some of the most renowned trophies in football, his 2008 Ballon d’Or, Golden Boots and his FIFA Club World Cup Golden Ball.
But it’s not just about the awards.
One of the most intimate highlights is a loyal recovery of Ronaldo’s bedroom in Lisbon, which offers fans a rare insight into his life in his formative years-a time in which his dreams just started to take shape.
Even Ronaldo’s off-the-pitch life appear: his YouTube content studio is on display-only VIP ticket holder can be entered in the replica setup with which he connects with millions of fans online.
By June next year, the exhibition is expected to attract over 12 million visitors and describe it as one of the largest show cases with football motifs that Asia has seen.
The Hong Kong Museum marks Ronaldo’s third personal museum, which is devoted to his life and career.
In November 2023 he opened the CR7 Signature Museum in Riad, the Saudi Arabian capital, where he currently plays after his departure from Manchester United for Al-Nassr.
But the flagship and the permanent location remain the Museu CR7 in Funchal, Madeira – the Portuguese island, on which Ronaldo was born and raised. There, fans over 100 of his career trophies, countless memorabilia and several wax figures on the football icon can explore.
The museum is located under the Pestana CR7 Hotel, a luxury boutique property that is together by Ronaldo and the Pestana Group. Everything – from the decor and the food experience to the rooms themselves – pays homage to the Portuguese star.
Outside, a highly towering bronze statue from Ronaldo welcomes visitors and consolidates the website as the ultimate goal for its fans.
