The idea of creating a Museum to display the history of FC Barcelona goes back to the twenties, when the club founder Joan Gamper put the suggestion to members of the board.
For various reasons, the project never got off the ground. It was not until 1984 during the Josep Lluís Núñez presidency that the club was able to inaugurate its Museum. FC Barcelona was once again setting standards for the rest of the football world to follow. Since then, the Museum has been expanded on three occasions, in 1987, 1994 and 1998, to now become a facility that takes up a surface area of 3,500 m2 .
Year after year, the Museum has been consolidated as one of the finest platforms for explaining the social and cultural projection of the club. It has gained so much prestige that it is now generally considered the best football museum in the world, and is also the most visited museum in the whole of Catalonia, welcoming more than 1,200,000 visitors a year. The Museum has also set an example that many other clubs both in Spain and abroad have followed by starting similar initiatives of their own.
The Camp Nou Tour is the best way to experience Barça from within. You can visit every corner of the stadium and get a first hand look at the places where day to day life takes place at the club and feel the magic of a five star venue. The Camp Nou Tour takes you through the past and present of an emblematic stadium for both Barça supporters and other football fans alike.
Follow in the footsteps of the players that have made history, such as Kubala, Cruyff, Maradona, Guardiola and Ronaldinho and feel the passion of FC Barcelona as you visit each of the fascinating zones: the presidents box, the press area, the changing room area and then down the tunnel and onto the pitch where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the stadium and really sense the dream of every Barcelona supporter, to feel for a moment just what it would be like to be a Barça player.
The Camp Nou Tour also includes a visit to the Club Museum, where you can spend as long as you like admiring all the different trophies, photographs and personal belongings of the legendary stars that have all helped make FC Barcelona what it is today.
