Barça Musuem changes complete

FC Barcelona's fans will be able to experience the new look club Museum on Sunday as restructuring of the first floor and an improvement of the stadium tour will be completed for and open to the public.

Visitors will find a modernised museum with an interactive mural, great audio visual displays, new displays and an extensive collection of memorabilia in order to help learn and enjoy the incredible history of the club. After touring the new look first floor fans will then ascend to the second tier where they can enjoy the new multimedia zone. This area, completed in January of this year, has been critically acclaimed and has seen many supporters praise it as visiting numbers have increased by around 40 per cent.

Restructuring programme

The renewal has seen a modern approach taken with strong technological input making the experience even better. The main concepts are:

The redifining of space and of the contents that the visitor can see in order to create a new route that has 14 main points of interest.
A visit to the museum now gives the visitor three different experiences.
Knowledge on the first floor.
Experience of Camp Nou on tier two.
Emotion on the third level.
The new look Museum and tour of Camp Nou has seen a change of name given to the whole event and is now known as the Camp Nou Experience.
The exit route has also been moved while entrance can only be gained via the escalator from the Hall of the Camp Nou Experience next to the FCBotiga across the forecourt from the stadium.

Changing times
The first floor of the President Nuñez Museum has been completely remodelled to create a space dedicated to knowledge. Visitors can move through the museum and see three different areas.

The history of FC Barcelona. A chronological timeline of the club's rise to prominence is laid out in 12 stages with each part highlighting as key event or time that moulded the club. At a glance the club's honours list can be seen while all the club's presidents and coaches are listed. The Barça Wall of History is a huge interactive wall that allows visitors to touch the screens and see information. The glass, equipped with laser technology allows the showing of video, images and music.

FC Barcelona and success: A huge display of every official trophy won by FC Barcelona is on display for fans to see. The area also includes a second interactive wall with even more content including key players and the Fundació.

The values of FC Barcelona: Visitors can enjoy four themed space with each one dedicated to the four key values of the club: Catalan identity, universality, social commitment and democracy.

Visitors can then visit an area that like a balcony and the early history can be discovered and trophies lifted. This space is complimented by the Looks installation that is eight projected screens of statistical information, a chronology of president, players, etc., combined with images of players, coaches, the XICS Foundation, newspaper covers, etc.. In this area a list of honours is also displayed with a display cabinet with the first stones from the Les Corts and Camp Nou stadia.

On the first floor a cabinet containing the six trophies that the FC Barcelona football team won in 2009 and database wall that allows fans to interact to find information on presidents, players, coaches, fans, supporters' clubs, the Fundació, Barça around the world and statistics.
