In July, Cristiano Ronaldo 7 achieved a series of remarkable milestones: winning the Euro 2016 tournament with the Portuguese national team and unveiling a series of new museums and hotels in rapid succession.
In Madeira, the city in which Cristiano Ronaldo was born and raised, he inaugurated his very own museum on July 1. The main foyer is distinguished by a new wax statue of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now wearing a Portuguese shirt, as well as a big artwork that depicts the various clubs that the 31-year-old superstar has played for throughout his career.

At the wax statue of the idol, tourists take photos with themselves. “After Euro, Ronaldo will begin the 2016/2017 season with Real Madrid, and he has the opportunity to bring new titles to the museum,” stated Nuno Viveiros, both the director of the museum and the cousin of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also the director of the museum.
Less than a week ago, Ronaldo also inaugurated the first hotel branded Pestana CR7 right near the new museum.
