Olympic Museums Around the World
The 2026 Milano Cortina d’Ampezzo Games have begun with the opening ceremony slated for February 6.
If you’ve used our K-12 Learning Resources, you may have visited the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, which offers a 360º virtual tour.
There are several other Olympic museums throughout the world. Not all have full-scale virtual tours, but most offer an inside look at the museum, videos or contain back stories about featured athletes, and events.
There are over thirty facilities recognized as Olympic museums. Some focus on the Paralmpic games, while others include non-Olympic sports and experiences.
Museums listed on Olympics.com with only a social media page or lack interactive features/historical information have been excluded from this list.
Enjoy your virtual visits now.
