Versed in the legacy of ancient ideals and modern ambition, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne sits near the roots of the modern Games, inspired by Pierre de Coubertin's vision in the early 1900s. Overlooking Lake Geneva, the museum takes visitors through the full journey of the Olympics, from their origins in ancient Greece to their role today as a symbol of global connection. Through original torches, historic medals, and stories from every era, it reflects the enduring values of unity, peace, and human achievement.
