The Olympic Museum’s extraordinarily rich collections include items from all over 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. As with many museums dedicated to ideals, institutions and values, the Olympic Museum receives a large number of donations. New items incorporated into the museum’s collections are inventoried, photographed, properly stored and examined. This analysis and contextualisation of each item reveals its full meaning and can offer new insights into the worlds of sport, design and technology.

Researchers who visit The Olympic Studies Centre can request access to the Museum collection through the research visit request form.
