Would you like to relive great Olympic moments? Feel the pulse of the champions? Discover the creative flair of the host cities? Inside the museum, the three levels of the permanent exhibition each revisit an essential dimension of modern Olympism: The Olympic World, the Olympic Games and the Olympic Spirit. It is a place where the Olympic values and issues can be experienced, explored and shared. The world of the Games will open up to you with 3000 m2 of exhibition space, over 1500 exhibits, 150 screens and our passion, combining to create the ultimate experience.
