Magnetic fields in galaxy clusters can be investigated using a variety of techniques. Recent studies including radio halos, Inverse Compton hard X-ray emissions and Faraday rotation measure, are briefly outlined. A numerical approach for investigating cluster magnetic fields strength and structure is presented. It consists of producing simulated rotation measure, radio halo images, and radio halo polarization, obtained from 3-dimensional multi-scale cluster magnetic field models, and comparing with observations.
