What's in Store? - The New Interactive
Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum has been working for the past two and a half years to create a new interactive touch screen experience, What’s in Store, opening in December 2010.
While the Museum displays a great deal of Wimbledon’s emotion and memorabilia, What’s In Store? gives visitors a chance to further see a selection of the items we have on file. Not only will visitors be able to see these objects but will also be able to enlarge, move, shuffle, and compare them.
Users will choose from six tabs to explore objects in the following categories: Medals, Posters, Jewellery, Food and Drink, Shoes, and Oddballs. Each tab will include 20 objects with a short description and multiple images of each. Visitors will also get a chance to see behind the scenes and to find out how the Museum stores and looks after its thousands of objects. "All museums have more objects than they can show. We are excited about this new interactive and its potential for showing visitors what else we have beyond the museum walls," says Honor Godfrey, Museum Curator.
Whether visitors are interested in the history of medals, fashion, or looking at fun pictures of things in the shape of tennis balls, this interactive will appeal to everyone.
Wimbledon hosts some of the world’s best tennis that is rich in history and quintessentially British. Supporting this, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum presents the past, present and future of the sport and has set its sights on becoming the ultimate destination for tennis fans around the world.
