Fergie, who spent two years at Ibrox from 1967 to 1969, was given the honour of being the venue's first-ever visitor.
Some of the most famed items in Rangers' history are on display in the museum, including a letter from Ferguson.
The letter was one Govan-born Ferguson penned to Dick Advocaat after the Dutchman guided the Teddy Bears to a treble in the 1998/1999 season.
It read: "Dear Dick. Just a wee note to congratulate you and your players on winning the treble.
"I know how difficult it is to maintain the level of fitness and determination to achieve all three trophies, but your players carried out the task wth great style.
"Please pass on my sincere good wishes to all your staff.
"Yours sincerely, Sir Alex Ferguson."
Ferguson appeared to be emotional as he looked at the letter and the rest of the Gers memorabilia.
