Olympic Museum

Musee Olympique, founded in 1993 at the house of the International Olympic Committee, displays the story of the Olympic movement in a beautiful and affluent setting on the shores of Lake Geneva in Ouchy. The displays are divided across three floors and depict the origins of the games from ancient Greece through modern-day Olympic milestones. There are thousands of video clips to see, all of which capture significant moments in sports history.

On three different floors, the permanent display is divided into three key themes: Olympic World, Olympic Games, and Olympic Spirit. The Olympic World section of the exhibition begins on the third level, where visitors learn about the history of the ancient Olympic Games and the rebirth of the contemporary Games in the nineteenth century. A display of Olympic torches, as well as a movie highlighting important milestones in the history of opening ceremonies, are among the highlights.
