The Egypt international has impressed this season, winning the Premier League golden boot with a record 32 goals.
His boots will go on display in the run up to Liverpool's Champions League final match against Real Madrid.
"The boots tell a story of a modern Egyptian icon, performing in the UK, with a truly global impact," said exhibit keeper Neal Spencer.
"This acquisition builds on our recent project to acquire objects to tell the story of day-to-day life in 20th and 21st century Egypt."
Salah also played a key role in Egypt's qualification for the World Cup and is set to feature for them in Russia this summer.
