The state of the art museum features exhibits and artefacts never seen before, there is a New cinema with a 200° screen that immerses you into the world of tennis. Also, you will be able to see McEnroe 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 the normally off-limits area. McEnroe reminisces about his memories about the Dressing Room, including how he first met Jimmy Connors and how he would emotionally prepare himself for matches. The Whites of Wimbledon attire. Everything from outfits worn in the 1880s to Rafeal Nadal’s dri-fit ‘pirate’ trousers are on display. There is also an interactive exhibit where you can feel the weight difference between male and female clothing in 1884.
