The Olympic Museum

We had a fantastic experience here. I never thought that this would actually be a good museum that I would enjoy seeing because I assumed it was all about the games, but watching the history and seeing the interactivity of all of the different exhibits, this was really really good well worth the money and the Front Desk guy was really nice and I had some sort of ticket to something else so I was able to get a minimal discount and this was a really nice way to spend an afternoon. I did not need to buy tickets in advance and even the lobby is gorgeous so unless you’re waiting a long time, it was fine looking around there

The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, is a place where you can learn all about the Olympic Games. It shows the history of the Games, from the very first Olympics to today. The museum has many cool things like Olympic medals, torches, uniforms, and photos of famous athletes. You can see displays that explain how the Olympics started, the athletes' journeys, and the values of the Games, like fair play and friendship. There are also fun, interactive activities to get involved with. The museum is located near Lake Geneva, with beautiful views of the water and mountains. It's a great place for anyone interested in sports and the spirit of the Olympics.

What an amazing place!! It is full of amazing sports history. Glad that I took the train from Geneva for the museum visit. Easy to find and transport from the main train station.

This place is absolutely massive and bursting with incredible exhibits. There's a beautiful garden in front of the museum to explore. Definitely worth a visit!

This was possibly the best museum I have ever been to. There was so much to look at and so much history you could easily have spent half a day there. The parks were beautiful. Can't recommend highly enough

If you are in Lausanne, Switzerland 🇨🇭 must visit the Olympic museum, great experience, dedicated to the history of the Olympics Alao breathtaking the outdoor spaces, the artwork and statues surrounding the museum and the view of the lake. Highly recommend visiting 👌

The Olympic Museum in Lausanne is an absolute must-visit for sports enthusiasts and history lovers alike. Located along the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva, the museum offers a fascinating journey through the history of the Olympic Games, from their ancient origins to the modern era. The exhibits are incredibly well-curated, featuring interactive displays, historic memorabilia, and inspiring stories of legendary athletes. The collection of Olympic torches and medals was particularly impressive, showcasing the evolution of the Games over the years. We also appreciated the immersive multimedia presentations, which brought key moments in Olympic history to life. Beyond the exhibits, the museum’s location is stunning, with beautifully landscaped gardens and sculptures celebrating the spirit of the Olympics. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or just curious about the Games, the Olympic Museum is an inspiring experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lausanne!

Beautiful property and buildings with a commanding view of Lake Geneva (Leman) and the French Alps behind it. Super gorgeous, the whole area around Lausanne is just beautiful. The museum has displays about the history of the games and artifacts, I just found it boring and not interesting. I don’t like watching the Olympics much, so it tracks that I would find this celebration of them equally forgettable. If you love the games, likely you would get a lot more out of this museum.

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.

There's a beautiful park that surrounds the museum. The restaurant has one of the best views on the Lake Leman. Ouchy is a sweet ancient city that claims to be independent of Lausanne. Of course it is a neighborhood of Lausanne.

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.

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!

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.

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.
