The Olympic Museum
Musée Olympique
The world's largest museum dedicated to the Olympics, displaying past torches, medals, and interactive exhibits. The Olympic Park on the lakeshore is free to visit.
The Olympic Museum sits on the shore of Lake Geneva at Ouchy, operated by the International Olympic Committee. Its three floors tell the history of the Games from ancient to modern times. The collection includes torches, medals, athletes' equipment, and opening-ceremony footage from past Games, with many interactive experiences. Admission is about CHF 20, and children under 6 enter free. Outside, the Olympic Park has sculptures and a running track, and the top-floor café offers lake views. The museum is closed on Mondays in winter. Take the M2 metro to Ouchy-Olympique station, then walk for 5 minutes.
