FOUNDER OF THE MUSEUM IS THE FOUNDER OF MODERN OLYMPIC MOVEMENT,
BARON PIERRE DE COUBERTIN. IT WAS FOUNDED IN LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND,
NEUTRAL COUNTRZ DURING THE WORLD WARS
Olympic Museum
-
permanent exibition of the History of the OG
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. Sport, art and culture are the traditional pillars of
Olympism, and the Museum gives concrete form to this trinity -these
are the words of the President of the IOC, Mr Jacques Rogge, about
this institution located in Lausanne, and attracting lots of
tourists every day.
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.
This Museum has long history. Pierre de Coubertin, who revived the
Olympic Games, had the idea of creating an Olympic Museum. He
proposed it for the first time in 1915 after setting up the
headquarters of the IOC in Lausanne. The baron felt the museum
should not only be the legacy of the newly restored Olympic Games,
but should equally embody the ideals of Olympism. Baron de Coubertin
announced in Lausanne (where the IOC had just been established) his
intention to create a Museum for the IOC archives, as well as a
public information centre on the Olympic Movement. The very first
Museum, which was not open all the time, found a home in a room in
the Montbenon Casino. In 1922. the Museum moved into the Villa
Mon-Repos, in the centre of Lausanne, which would also house the IOC
headquarters until 1969. At first, the Museum only had one
exhibition room, before expanding over the years and regularly
adding to its collections.
In June 1982. was set up the "provisional" Museum at 18 avenue
Ruchonnet, also in the centre of Lausanne, which welcomed up to
10,000 visitors per year. The provisional Museum’s main mission was
to add to its collections.
Former President of the IOC, Antonio Samaranch kicked off the
building works of the current Museum, with the words "I want people
to say that this is the most beautiful museum in the world". The
event represented the culmination of a long process of negotiations
to find the ideal spot to build the Museum.
Five years later, on 23. June 1993. was inauguration of the Museum,
on the same day as the IOC celebrated its 99th anniversary and
following on from the 100th IOC Session, whose sole theme was
"Olympism and Culture". The whole of the city of Lausanne was
associated with the event and numerous political, cultural and
sporting personalities came together in Ouchy.
Two years after this event, The Council of Europe awarded the
Olympic Museum the European Museum of the Year prize, over 45
institutions in some 15 countries.
Five-six years ago, the Museum had a facelift with the "Museum 2000"
concept and its new permanent exhibitions with their
state-of-the-art computer and audiovisual technology, responding
better to its visitors' expectations, with extraordinary audiovisual
shows.
Elected a few days previously, at the IOC Session in Moscow,
President Jacques Rogge received the keys of the Museum from Judge
Kéba Mbaye, First Vice-President of the IOC.
On 22. June 2003. the Olympic Museum officially celebrated its 10th
anniversary. Open doors on Sunday 22 June for visitors of all ages,
and special events for young people on Monday 23. It is second most
visited Museum in Switzerland. In ten years, more than 2 million
people visited the Museum.
The Olympic Museum was built mostly thanks to all the donors, for
without their generosity it could not have been built. Their names
are carved on the donors wall of the Museum. The IOC provided only
16 percent. Within the Museum, there is the donors wall with carved
names of all donore, without whom the Museum could not be built.
Large corporations, institutions and individuals have their place
among the donors. Interesting fact is that among all these donors,
there are lots of Japanese companies like Hitacii, Seiko, NEC, NAOC,
Mizuno, Asics, Fujitsu, Dentsu, Toshiba. There are also German
Adidas, Korean Samsung, American IBM and Kodak and many others.
The Association of Friends of the Museum was formed on 20 January
1993.
It is presided by Georges-André Carrel, director of the sports
department of the University of Lausanne. The association has a
threefold aim: to participate in spreading the image of the Museum,
to promote business for it and to enrich its patrimony.
The work of volunteers constitutes an important part of daily life
at the Museum. Volunteers are used frequently by the Museum whenever
archiving and mailing are necessary or new exhibitions and big
events are being launched. The museum has compiled a list of about
80 volunteers, and for almost every event 20-30 volunteers are
called upon to perform many kinds of functions.
There are lots of permanent exebitions in the Museum dedicated to
the Olympic Games and development of the Olympic movement. Also,
there are temporary exebitions, various seminars, educational
courses. On the second floor of the Museum, there is beautiful
restaurant with extraordinary view on the Geneva Lake.
