The Olympic Museum’s collections encompass items from around the world, spanning the period from ancient times to the present day.
The collections began to take shape in 1915 and have continued to grow and develop over the years. Its permanent exhibition tells the story of the grand plan of the Baron de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Games, who died in 1937.
It features many historical objects, including Olympic torches from all the Olympic Games and pieces of equipment used by top athletes to win gold medals. Temporary theme-based exhibitions focus on current events and issues.
