Draft Week at the History Center

The story of professional football starts in Pittsburgh — and there’s no better place to experience it than the Heinz History Center, America’s #1 History Museum.

From the Franco Harris Sports Museum to special pop-up exhibits with the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Steelers, discover how Pittsburgh forged a football legacy defined by legendary players, unforgettable moments, and six Super Bowl championships.
