Description

Essentials about the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum in brief

Tennis fans can’t leave London without paying a visit to the hallowed turf of Wimbledon. To mark the 100th anniversary of the world’s most famous tennis tournament, the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum (WLTM) was inaugurated on the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. It is the largest tennis museum in the world.

The exhibition of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum

The exhibition of the WLTM show the development of tennis and its different variants since the year 1555 and contains many memorabilia of tennis players since the 19th century. For example, the historical development of Wimbledon outfits for men and women is interesting. The museum’s own library also houses an extensive collection of literature, magazines and videos about tennis.

A highlight of the museum is the cinema, which uses a recording of a Wimbledon match to explain various scientific aspects of the stress placed on players and equipment. In addition, you can meet the “ghost” of the legendary John McEnroe in his former locker room, who will reveal one or two pieces of insider information from the life of the eccentric tennis pro. From a viewing platform in the museum, visitors can also catch a glimpse of Wimbledon’s world-famous Centre Court. In addition, as part of a visit to the museum, visitors can take a tour of the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, including a visit to the Centre Court.
