**RIGHTS MANAGED**
The National Football Museum is England's national museum of football. It is based in the Urbis building in Manchester city centre, designed by Ian Simpson.

This museum charts the evolution of British football from its earliest days to the multi-billion-pound phenomenon it is today. One of the highlights is Football Plus, a series of interactive stations that allow you to test your skills in simulated conditions; buy a credit (three for £6, eight for £10) and try your luck – it's recommended for kids over seven. You must pre-book your tickets online.
