A display case of trophies accompanied by histories of players, stats and titles, is only the beginning of the interactive tour. Housed in the museum is a fascinating 8.5 meter touch screen that allows guests access to even more historical information about the club: past presidents, managers, members, the foundation, and more.

Barça, Barça, Barça!

Next on the list is the multimedia area where FCB admirers will have the opportunity to relive some of the most amazing moments in the club´s history. The multimedia area contains three LCD TVs and a huge 35 meter screen, all replaying triumphant goals, magical moments, and awe-inspiring images of the club. Meanwhile, the typical sounds of Camp Nou and the Barça anthem will be ringing in their ears, giving fans the chance to experience a genuinely exhilarating match atmosphere. There are also two different interactive touch screen tables tourists can scroll through to enjoy more of the FCB magic.
