Recently, our class visited the Bryant Museum across from Coleman Coliseum. I had visited the museum a handful of times before, but each time I learn something new. The exhibits really don't change, however, with the exception of coaches arriving and departing. Here are a few things I learned:
In 1894, admission was just fifty cents.
From 1917-1927, the Million Dollar Band was run and organized by students.
Mal Moore, the University of Alabama's athletic director, used to be an assistant coach.
In line with Coach Bryant's original concept, the Museum's first exhibit is the Hall of Honor. Surrounded by the team photos of each of his teams is a large bust of the legendary coach, Paul W. "Bear" Bryant. Blair Buswell of Utah sculpted this artwork that serves as a fitting introduction to the museum's visitors.
Students get in for free!!
