Wimbledon Tennis Museum
- The Cinema features a 200° screen that immerses
the viewer into the world of The Championships by showing a film about
the science of tennis.
- McEnroe's Ghost Sighted at the New Museum - the
museum is able to create an exciting way to view a scene from
Wimbledon's past. In a recreation of the 1980s Gentlemen's Dressing
Room, a ghost-like image of John McEnroe appears and takes you through
a tour of the normally off-limits area, reminisces about his memories
including how he first met Jimmy Connors and how he would emotionally
prepare himself for matches.
- The Whites of Wimbledon
The fashions of Wimbledon continue to be a point of attention and
significance to the story of tennis and the Museum houses an extensive
collection of Wimbledon attire. Everything from outfits worn in the
1880s to Rafeal Nadal's dri-fit 'pirate' trousers are on display. There
is an interactive exhibit where you can feel the weight difference
between male and female clothing in1884.
- Extraordinary New Technology
Interactive touch screen consoles can be found throughout the Museum
hallways. These information access points make up a part of the new and
exiting technologies within the Museum. Other features are the 'Get a
Grip' rotating wheel of rackets; 'The Reactor' game and an archive of
great past Championship matches, all of which can be enjoyed by
visitors of any age.
