For a second consecutive offseason the Los Angeles Dodgers are hosting a pop-up museum experience at Dodger Stadium. The theme this winter is “60 Years in L.A.,” which celebrates the Dodgers’ 60 years in Los Angeles and includes memorabilia on loan from the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Items from the private collections of Gary Cypres, Richard Levy and the O’Malley Family are also on display, as well as rarely-seen items from Dodgers archives. Displays from Cypres feature Fernando Valenzuela, Don Drysdale, Dodgers Rookies of the Year and 2018 Hall of Fame candidate Steve Garvey.

The temporary museum, constructed on the left field Reserve level, will have the 2017 National League Championship trophy and a World Series ring from each of the five championships the organization has won during their tenure in Los Angeles.

Additionally, a Sandy Koufax display, on loan from Levy, includes tickets and lineup cards from Koufax’s no-hitters and his glove from the 1963 season. Among the artifacts from the Dodgers’ 2017 collection are mementos from NL Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger’s historic season, including jerseys worn when he hit for the cycle on July 15 at Miami and when he hit his record-setting 39th home run.

The museum will also be accompanied by a speaker series, of which more information will be announced at a later date. Tickets for the museum, which begins Friday, Nov. 24 and runs through March 4, 2018, are available now at Dodgers.com/Museum.

Admission is $10, and fans can also purchase tickets in person at the museum doors. Fans joining a Stadium Tour on open exhibit dates will have the opportunity to visit the museum for an additional $3.

Dodger Stadium tour information can be found at Dodgers.com/Tours. An adult ticket cost $23, while child/senior/military with valid I.D. are $18. A clubhouse tour is priced at $53.

Along Friday being the museum’s first day, the Dodgers are holding a Blue Friday sale at the Top of the Park store.

The Dodgers’ pop-up museum will be open to the public from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on these dates: Nov. 24-26, Dec. 1 and 3, Dec. 8-10, Dec. 15-17, Dec. 22-24, Dec. 26-31, Jan. 2-7, Jan. 12-15, Jan. 19-21, Jan. 26 and 28, Feb. 2-4, Feb. 9-11, Feb. 16-19, Feb. 23-25 and March 2-4.
