Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen. The Castle's dramatic site encapsulates 900 years of British history. It covers an area of 26 acres and contains, as well as a royal palace, a magnificent chapel and the homes and workplaces of a large number of people. What there is to see: The magnificent State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto, Gainsborough and the famous triple portrait of Charles I by Sir Anthony van Dyck. In 1992 fire destroyed or damaged more than 100 rooms at the Castle. By good fortune the rooms worst affected were empty at the time, and as a result, few of the Castle's artistic treasures were destroyed. The highly acclaimed restoration work, completed in 1997, is a testament to the extraordinary skills of some of the finest craftsmen in Europe. From October to March visitors can also enjoy George IV's private apartments (the Semi-State Rooms), among the most richly decorated interiors in the Castle. St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. It is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, the senior order of British Chivalry established in 1348 by Edward III. Within the chapel are the tombs of ten sovereigns, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour, and Charles I. Among the highlights of a visit to Windsor is Queen Mary's Dolls' House, the most famous dolls' house in the world. The Drawings Gallery shows changing exhibitions of material from the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. The special display below is shown alongside a selection of treasures from the Royal Library.

Las visitas al museo y al tour suelen durar alrededor de dos horas y media, concretamente 90 minutos para el tour y una hora para el museo. Aspectos destacados del nuevo Museo: Fantástico Nuevo Cine Dentro de las paredes del nuevo Museo Wimbledon Lawn Tennis hay un cine destacable. El cine cuenta con una pantalla de 200° que sumerge al espectador en el mundo de los torneos, mostrando una película sobre la ciencia del tenis. El rodaje tuvo lugar en la pista central durante el torneo de 2005, concretamente en el enfrentamiento entre la rusa Maria Sharapova y la española Nuria Llagostera. Graham English Productions utilizó una plataforma panorámica especial que utiliza 5 cámaras al mismo tiempo, el resultado de la cual es una película que puede ser congelada y se hace girar alrededor del campo de acción en cualquier momento. Usando esta técnica, la película se centra en 20 aspectos diferentes del partido y muestra a los televidentes cómo los órganos y el equipamiento de los jugadores se ven afectados durante el transcurso de un partido de tenis profesional. El fantasma de McEnroe fue visto en el Nuevo Museo Al juntar una vieja técnica denominada 'El Fantasma de Pepper' con la nueva tecnología de proyección y de filmación, el museo es capaz de crear una emocionante manera de ver una escena del pasado de Wimbledon. En una recreación del vestidor de caballeros en la década de 1980, un holograma de John McEnroe aparece y le lleva a través de un recorrido por la zona más allá de los límites. McEnroe rememora viejos recuerdos sobre el vestuario, incluyendo la manera en que conoció a Jimmy Connors y cómo se preparaba psicológicamente a sí mismo para los partidos. Las Ropas de Wimbledon Las modas de Wimbledon siguen siendo un punto de atención e importancia en la historia del tenis y el nuevo Museo de Wimbledon albergará una amplia colección de atuendos. Podrá ver de todo, desde la ropa usada en la década de 1880 hasta los pantalones Dri-Fit 'piratas' de Rafael Nadal. También hay una exposición interactiva donde podrá notar la diferencia de peso entre la ropa masculina y femenina de 1884. Nueva Tecnología Extraordinaria Consolas interactivas con pantalla táctil están distribuidas a lo largo de los pasillos del museo. Estos puntos de acceso a la información forman parte de las nuevas y excitantes tecnologías que encontrará en el Museo. Otros equipamientos son la rueda de raquetas rotativa "Get a Grip"; el juego 'El Reactor' y un archivo de los grandes partidos en torneos pasados, todos lo cuales podrán ser disfrutados por los visitantes de cualquier edad. Tour Los visitantes también podrán disfrutar de un tour por los terrenos de juego, dirigido por los guías especialmente entrenados de Blue Badge, y tendrá acceso a las áreas restringidas que normalmente están cerradas al público. Se incluye: • Pista nº 1 • Los jardines (Henman Hill) • El Millennium Building • La sala de prensa • El estudio de televisión de la BBC (o la pista central, si los trabajos de construcción lo permiten) • Entrada al museo Horarios de visita: Varían al largo del año.
