Mark Bushell from the Museum said:
"To be asked by the organisers of the European Championships to contribute to the event in Portugal is further testament to our growing international reputation. It is also a wonderful opportunity to publicise the Museum, not just to football fans in this country but throughout Europe and let them enjoy a selection of the material found within the Museum - simply the world's finest collections of football memorabilia."
