McEnroe's Ghost Sighted At The New Museum
Bringing together an old technique called 'Pepper's Ghost' with new projection and filming technology, 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 this normally off-limits area.
Guided Tours
Visitors can also choose to take a guided tour of the grounds led by Blue Badge Guides taking you behind the scenes of the world's most famous tennis venue.
The route includes No.1 Court, the Picnic Terraces and Water Gardens with their fantastic views across London, The Millennium Building and Press Interview Room, (out-of-bounds during The Championships), and the BBC Television Studio.
