The Olympic Museum

I enjoyed it! Very nice to learn about the history of the Olympics. Only downside is they have the medal viewing closed for renovations which I was hoping to see. But overall very lovely place. Hope to come back one day… see you maybe in 4 or so years.

Wow place. A must place to visit. The depiction of history is interesting. You may find ticket price a bit higher but worth visit. Even without ticket you can see so many things but the core of museum is in ticketed area.

Well worthy place to visit. It show the history of Olympics in different ways and you can see a lot for free. There is a paid part as well but we didn't enter due to short time we had on that day.

Visiting the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, was an exceptional experience. The museum beautifully captures the spirit and history of the Olympic Games, offering a fascinating journey through time. From the extensive collection of memorabilia, including medals, torches, and athlete uniforms, to the interactive exhibits that engage visitors of all ages, every detail is meticulously curated. One of the most impressive aspects is the immersive multimedia presentations that bring the stories of past Olympic Games to life. The museum also features insightful displays on the cultural and social impacts of the Olympics, highlighting the event's global significance. The stunning location by Lake Geneva and the beautifully landscaped gardens add to the overall charm of the visit. The Olympic Museum is a must-see for sports enthusiasts and anyone interested in the history and ideals of the Olympic movement. An inspiring and unforgettable.

My son actually got sunburnt the weather was so good, but while it is, the outside is amazing. There's a stunning range of amazing statues, sculptures and art pieces to enjoy in the exquisite parklands surrounding the Museé. Inside was too close and warm to be comfortable, but that could have been because of how lovely it was outside.

I loved my time at the Olympic museum. The exhibits had something for everyone and the videos were so well made. My fav section was the medals display. How cool is it that you’re able to see the actual medals from every single Olympic Games! With Paris 18 days out, the section for the games with the torch, medals, mascots was amazing. The final cool aspect is that this is included with the Swiss pass 🙂

Very interesting museum! I found the "minigames" from the garden really fun - such as the Shot Put for display - to weigh it yourself. Really nicely designed, full of inspiring statues and elements. Visited on a weekend, but even though there were plenty of people, we didn't have to wait at all.

Visiting this Museum was my boyfriend's idea. Although not sure before visiting, after the trip I completely loved the whole place! First of all, the area around the building amazes with astonishing view of the Lausanne lake. There is a picking area with benches and tables where you can eat snacks before or after your visit. The Museum itself is very interesting - you can scan the QR code to download audioguide and walk around 3 floors full of Olympic items and historical information. There is also a shop with souvenirs and restaurant. Highly recommended!

This is an awesome museum if you're really interested in the Olympics or if you're a child. I really enjoyed it, but I wouldn't recommend it to the average adult. The exhibits were well put together, and there was a lot of interesting information to read with fun games for children. I loved the temporary exhibit (free to the public) about running and the focus on Paris 2024. Admission was more expensive than I would have liked, even with the student discount for 14 CHF. The Olympic park outside is nice to walk around.

It's been a long time since I came through here. I created a listing to review the Olympic Games but it got merged with the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. I've actually been to this museum, funnily enough (in 2005, I believe it was, but I could be off), so I decided to post the review anyway. The Olympic Museum in Switzerland is worth a visit if you are obsessed with the Olympics but we're really not. We like the World Cup a lot. So I won't be taking Barbie back here with me most likely. It's still a pretty cool Museum and it's been a long time since I was here but it looks from the pictures like it's changed, so I'll have to consider maybe giving it another visit when I come back to Switzerland maybe next year maybe no go.

Growing up, watching the Olympics with my family was an event, so when I found out there was a museum and I was in the same town for a couple of days, it was definitely on the itinerary. This museum is pretty awesome! The history and the exhibits were so cool to go through. I easily spent a few hours just going through the museum. The only parking is on the street, and it always seems busy, so you just have to wait around for a spot. And surrounding the museum is a beautiful waterfront and was easily a great walk through the beautiful neighborhood.

A short walk from the Ouchy metro, a set of stairs builds up to a squat, modern museum on a hill. Along the way up, there's various statues of athleticism, from giant abs to Niki de St. Phalle's colorful soccer players. It's in a gorgeous location, with lake Geneva and the French alps in the distance. The museum is very interactive and filled with historic memorabilia, from torches to opening ceremony outfits. The videos at many of the exhibits, with their exciting, fast-paced soundtracks, incited an interesting mix of feelings: nostalgia, pride, awe, and hope.

Pretty cool and educational museum for anyone to visit while in Lausanne. We were only here for about an hour and explored the museum very fast since we got here in the late afternoon. I think it's free admission when you show your Swiss pass. There were a lot of historic Olympic memorabilia on display and video clips of the past Olympic games. I love the souvenir shop and they sold items such as magnets, postcards, clothing, and etc. I would visit here again one day and take my time to explore the museum.

Set alongside Lake Geneva, the location is the first of many nice elements of the Olympic Museum. Entry is 18 francs and then you begin exploring the 3 levels of the museum. I really enjoyed the history, memorabilia, stories and more within the museum. There is something for everyone. It's really interesting to see how things have changed over the years and throughout the world with each respective event. My favorite part of the museum was seeing the different torches used from the first Olympic games until now. As you depart, take a swing through the gift shop. It seems that more recent games were the feature within the shop.

Well worth your time to check out Olympic history, various medals and torches used in various games. Neat, official, well organized.

What an incredible day I had here. Be sure to set aside some time to enjoy it. I loved the entire museum and really felt that a lot of effort was put into making sure that your got your money's worth out of it. It's geared for the young and older so don't be worried that you won't have anything to connect with here. There was a sweet cafe on the second level and small gift shop on the main floor. If you have the opportunity to go here, please do.

Such a great museum! Great exhibitions, videos, and it overlooks the lake at its cafe. What's not to love?

The museum was recently almost entirely renovated. This seemed first a bit an overkill as the "old on" was great already, but the new set-up is dazzling. I would say if you only have a break planned in Lausanne and can only visit one thing, this is the museum you should visit. Even if you are not particularly fond of olympics. The premises, the building and the entire exhibition are really worth it. As a born Lausannois, I am proud and honored we have this museum there.

Recently renovated with touchscreen exhibits, great films, and all sorts of fascinating exhibits. I think some of my friends who were with me who couldn't care less about the Olympics still found it interesting. Figure on at least 2 hours. It's not near the city centre of Lausanne so you'll either need to drive or bus out there.

Really Excellent museum. Totally renovated. Amazing outdoor area with sculptures and athletic props. Good for kids. Nice scenes of the lake from the entrance. It's a bit pricey, but worth it. The cafe was also very nice.

Excellent brunch Perfect value for money compared to lot of brunch in the area. To combine with a musee visit. Kid friendly place.

Fun for the whole family. The Olympic museum is wonderful. It is modern and so well done with information in English and French. The staff is super friendly and there is so much information. Plan to spend more than an hour here because there is so much information to see and things to do.

Although a museum for cost, it was one of the best I have been in with lots of detail paid to every bit of info. Whether you're a sports fan or not this place is remarkable. I am a magnet collector, they didn't have a general one but I have the memories! It is a must see with your free travel pass in Lausanne. It is a short walk from the Ouchy rail stop, lots of stairs, or you can opt for the slow gradual climb to the top to get to the entrance. There are nice photo opts the whole way up the incline take your time. Check the calendar, part of the year they are not open on Mondays!

What a fantastic place to visit. The grounds are beautiful with some really cool displays of Olympic records. If you have time it is really nice to visit the restaurant. We sat on the terrace overlooking the Lake and had a really delicious lunch of local fish from there Lake. I can't wait to go back for a second visit. Don't miss walking from the museum down to the Lake, The water features are total first class!!! This is a great place to sit on the lawns and enjoy lunch or a good book

If you like the Olympics, then this is a required stop. Located on the beautiful shores of Lac Leman in the Ouchy area, this spectacular museum provides you with everything you ever wanted to know about the Olympics from its history to the present. You'll find fun artifacts from various record-breaking moments, as well as a gallery of the Olympic medal designs. Highly recommended for all ages.
