The International Museum of Bodybuilding (IMBB) website is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of bodybuilding through the personal collections of generous donors and the pages of vintage bodybuilding magazines.  It should prove to be a key educational and research tool for those looking to expand their knowledge of the Silver and Golden era of the sport.  It will also be an excellent source of rare and never before seen historical bodybuilding memorabilia.  This is a not-for-profit venture that is purely aimed at the bodybuilding enthusiast.  All information and presentations provided have been appropriately accredited to the source if and where possible.

NEWS FLASH – VINTAGE BODYBUILDING MAGS HAS TAKEN AN EXCITING NEW TWIST.

It is a great pleasure to announce that the website will be rebranded to include a virtual museum that will present photographs, video footage, contest programs and other memorabilia that has been either assigned or donated to the newly formed INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM OF BODYBUILDING (IMBB).  The museum is in its infancy and will initially be presented in a digital format.  The plan is to evolve to at least one physical location and ideally multiple location around the globe.  The domain www.imbbmuseum.com is now operational and can be used to access this site in conjunction with the existing domain www.vintagebodybuildingmags.com

Monthly Featured Magazine

This month’s featured international magazine is the July 1970 edition of Peak Muscle Maker (Volume II Number 2).  The iconic cover captures the cream of the IFBB Bodybuilders at the 1970 IFBB Mr World.  The cover cant be matched!  The magazine itself is quiet rare and many of you would not have had the chance to see it.  It is much sort after by the bodybuilding magazine collector. Enjoy! Go to Library Page
