Museo della Storia del Genoa, History museum in Genoa, Italy.

The Museo della Storia del Genoa occupies the Palazzina del Cinquecento San Giobatta in the Porto Antico, spread over three levels and more than 500 m² with ten exhibition rooms, plus the Genoa Store and the Ticket Office. Its pale stone facade has a central arched entrance with a dark metal gate over glass doors, three flags above, and a plaque reading "MUSEO DELLA STORIA".

The museum opened on 5 June 2009 in premises on Salita Dinegro 7 once occupied by the Genoese newspaper Il Lavoro, directed by Sandro Pertini; a documentary exhibition on football's pioneer era had already been held there in June 2008. On 21 June 2013 the new seat, the Genoa Museum and Store, was inaugurated in the Palazzina del Cinquecento San Giobatta at the Porto Antico, over three levels and more than 500 m² with ten exhibition rooms. In March 2018 the Fondazione acquired the Challenge Cup for 40,000 dollars.

The museum is run by the Fondazione Genoa 1893, which represents the club's supporters and the Genoese community. Its name recalls the club's English origins: the founding date is attested by a ledger page signed by Sir Charles Alfred Payton, the English consul in Genoa. The nickname "vecchio balordo" and the club's colours are part of the story told here.

The museum occupies the Palazzina del Cinquecento San Giobatta in the Porto Antico, spread over three levels and ten exhibition rooms, with the Genoa Store and Ticket Office on site. The entrance on the stone facade is marked by a plaque reading "MUSEO DELLA STORIA" and a "GENOVA" sign. It is closed on Tuesdays.

The museum's best-known piece is the Challenge Cup, also called the Coppa Duca degli Abruzzi, awarded for Genoa's first three Italian championships. It was lost after the death of Henri Dapples, who held it against a debt, and the Fondazione Genoa 1893 bought it back in March 2018 for 40,000 dollars.
