Paris-Saint-Germain visited the 3-2-1 Museum in Doha just days before the World Cup opening ceremony to share its unique ‘Made in PSG’ experience with the museum’s many visitors.
Inside the museum, a 55m2 exhibition space now houses various virtual reality attractions centred on Paris and the Rouge & Bleu.
Following the success of its previous run in the Parc des Princes Megastore, this new VR Arcade is at the cutting edge of immersive technologies and has been specially expanded for the occasion. The latest virtual reality headsets, HP Reverb, will transport visitors to the world of Paris Saint-Germain.
The Birdly flight simulator will allow visitors to take a virtual flight around the iconic landmarks of Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and Parc des Princes. The club’s home stadium serves as a launch pad for the club to soar higher into the Parisian sky.
A final attraction invites daredevils to compete against some of Paris Saint-biggest Germain’s stars in a rowing race down the Seine. This race is a combination of sport and entertainment, as well as an opportunity to admire the Paris cityscape, from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame, as well as the Louvre and the Grand Palais.
Fabien Dilem, General Manager at Paris Saint-Germain’s Regional Office MEA & India, announced, “We are immensely proud to see Paris Saint-Germain feature in this museum dedicated to sport.
“The club always tries to innovate in order to offer even more immersive and interactive experiences to the new generation. Boosted by the success of the VR Arcade in the Parc des Princes Megastore, we were able to enrich the attractions for the Qatar Sports Museum. During the World Cup, all museum visitors will be able to enjoy this Paris Saint-Germain experience.”
Abdulla Yousuf Al Mulla, Directeur of the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, added: “Sport is an art, so of course it can have its own museum. We are delighted to welcome Paris Saint-Germain in amongst our collections.
“Thanks to this new virtual reality experience, we will treat all of the visitors expected during theWorld Cup to a fantastic moment of sport! They will be fully immersed in the art of football with Paris Saint-Germain.”
