Located beside the iconic La Bombonera stadium, the Boca Juniors Museum (officially known as the Museo de la Pasión Boquense) is a must-visit if you’re in Buenos Aires. More than just a collection of trophies, it's a vibrant tribute to one of the world’s most passionate football clubs, which was also home to legends like Diego Maradona, Javier García, and Sergio Romero.

When was the Boca Juniors Museum built?

The Boca Juniors Museo opened its doors in 2001, becoming the first football museum in Argentina. It was created to preserve and celebrate the rich heritage of Club Atlético Boca Juniors, a team that represents more than just sport—it’s a symbol of working-class pride, identity, and community in Buenos Aires.

What is the best time to visit Boca Juniors Museo?

Like La Bombonera, the best time to visit the Boca Juniors Museo is on a weekday rather than a weekend. This is when the crowds at the museum are smaller, giving you the space to explore all the exhibits peacefully.

In terms of the season, autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are the best times to visit, as the weather is comfortable and you won’t have to deal with the crowds that the museum hosts during the peak seasons.

Tips for visiting the Boca Juniors Museum

Get to the museum early to beat the crowds. It opens at 10am, and arriving close to the opening time ensures you’re among the first to enter.
Check the stadium’s schedule to avoid visiting on a matchday. This is when access to the stadium is restricted, and most visitors end up flocking to the museum, not the ideal day to explore the exhibits.
Book yourself a guided tour to enjoy detailed insights into the club’s history and the various exhibits by a Spanish and English-speaking expert.
