Cristiano Ronaldo decides his museum about himself needs to be bigger
Real Madrid star’s self-financed shrine upsizes
Cristiano Ronaldo’s museum on Madeira has upsized to a larger home in anticipation of the Real Madrid star winning “future trophies”, his cousin said.
The Portugal striker’s self-financed shrine now occupies a prime seafront position in Funchal, the island’s capital where “CR7” was born in 1985.
The museum’s new two-storey site “will be able to welcome Ronaldo’s future trophies,” his cousin and museum director Nuno Viveiros said.
The treasure trove charting the success of Madeira’s most famous son draws in 200,000 visitors a year.
It boasts two waxworks of the former Manchester United forward whilst a 3.4-metre-high bronze statue he unveiled of himself in December 2014 has been moved to greet visitors at the entrance.
