Le Musée Olympique de Lausanne

Sans conteste c'est le musée lausannois le plus connu sur les cinq continents. Le plus visité aussi: entre 160'000 et 210'000 entrées par an, beaucoup d’enfants, beaucoup de groupes scolaires. Ce musée a été voulu par Juan Antonio Samaranch, président du CIO de 1980 à 2001, pour servir à la promotion et à la diffusion de l’esprit olympique. Par l’image et par le symbole, le musée montre que «l’olympisme est beaucoup plus qu’une simple compétition sportive: c’est une philosophie de la vie qui plonge ses racines dans la nuit des temps. Le sport, l’art et la culture sont les piliers traditionnels de l’olympisme», affirme la documentation officielle. Le musée rassemble ainsi en un même lieu ces trois modes d’expression de l’être humain. (Texte: Lausanne Tourisme)
