'Fearless Foxes' walk at Leicester Museum to celebrate the fairytale season

The story of Leicester City’s fairytale season will be told in an exhibition at Leicester’s New Walk Museum and Art Gallery this summer.

The museum has postponed its scheduled summer exhibition, ‘Birds’, to make way for a special display to celebrate the Foxes’ incredible journey from the bottom of the Premier League in March 2015, to their current position at the top of the table.

The unprecedented levels of worldwide interest that it’s generated convinced us to shelve our existing plans and instead produce an exhibition that would tell the story of the club’s meteoric rise.

That decision meant a challenge for staff – with just 45 working days to pull the display together and an urgent call for help to the club’s historian.

While this exhibition won’t be a history of Leicester City Football Club, we hope that it will capture what has been a very special moment in time, however the season eventually turns out.

There will be lots of opportunity for people to add their own comments and reflections, so hopefully the exhibition will grow as it runs through the summer.

– Collections, interpretation and learning manager Matthew Constantine

The free exhibition will be in the main temporary exhibition gallery on the first floor.

With a working title ‘Fearless Foxes’, the exhibition will open at New Walk Museum & Art Gallery on June 4 and will continue until September.

Leicester City’s 2015-16 season is a wonderful chapter in the story of Leicester – and it’s one that will be remembered, and talked about, for generations.

I’m delighted that our flagship museum will host this very special exhibition that will attempt to capture all the emotion of this extraordinary season.

– City Mayor Peter Soulsby
