For the third consecutive off-season, the Dodgers will host their annual Pop-Up Museum beginning this Saturday, November 24, on the Left Field Reserve Level. The exhibit will run through February 2019.
This unique experience will celebrate the life and legacy of Jackie Robinson in honor of his upcoming 100th birthday, as well as the Dodgers’ inaugural class of inductees into the Legends of Dodger Baseball – Don Newcombe, Steve Garvey and Fernando Valenzuela. Beginning in 2019, the team will induct Dodger greats into the Legends of Dodger Baseball in recognition of their impact on the franchise, both on and off the field.
Many of the pieces on display at the Pop-Up Museum will come from the historic collection of world-renowned sports memorabilia collector Gary Cypres, as well as items on loan from players’ personal collections.
Exhibit highlights will include:
- Jackie Robinson Game-Used Jersey and Cap
- Fernando Valenzuela Game-Used Jersey and Warm-Up Jacket
- Don Newcombe’s 1956 Cy Young Award
- Steve Garvey’s 1974 MVP Award
The exhibit will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with additional holiday openings daily from December 24 through January 6, (excluding Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day). The Museum will also be open to fans on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 21) and President’s Day (February 18).
Admission to the Pop-Up Museum is $15 and tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance online at: Dodgers.com/Museum. A visit to the Pop-Up Museum will be included in all Dodger Stadium Tours on museum exhibit dates for an additional $5 to the regular tour cost.
