WELCOME, THIS MUSEUM IS YOURS



Jacques Rogge, President of the IOC
The Olympic Museum is for everyone for whom sport and the Olympic Movement are a passion, everyone fascinated by history, culture and art, and all those who are interested in to the future of our society.





We are very proud to be able to use this website to showcase this unique museum, which promotes the union of sport, art and culture. The pleasure you will experience during your visit will be our reward.





Jacques Rogge, President of the IOC




















BRINGING TOGETHER SPORT, ART AND CULTURE



Sport, art and culture are the traditional pillars of Olympism, and the Museum gives concrete form to this trinity.





The mission of the Olympic Museum is to make visitors aware of the breadth and the importance of the Olympic Movement; to show them by means of images and symbols that Olympism is not merely a matter of sports competition but rather a philosophy of life whose roots are deeply embedded in our history.





The Museum is a centre for reflection that acts as a witness to the Olympic Games and their role in modern society.





In addition, it is the universal home of the written, visual and graphic memory of the Olympic Games.
