Norwegian Olympic Museum
The Norwegian Olympic Museum in Lillehammer is a tribute to the world of sport, effort, heroes and the Olympic idea – as well as to the festive atmosphere from the Olympics in 1952 and 1994. This is both a museum and an experience center that takes you on a journey from the ancient games to our modern Olympic traditions.
As the only museum of its kind in Northern Europe, the Norwegian Olympic Museum tells the whole story of the Olympic Games, from 776 f.Kr to the present day. This is Norway's leading museum for sports, which manages an impressive collection of national cultural treasures with over 7000 different objects.
Experience the magic through interactive installations, multimedia shows, and tales of original artifacts that bring Olympic moments to life. In the "Inside the race" experience, you can feel the exciting atmosphere just before competitions, or get chills while watching iconic clips from opening ceremonies on the big screen.
The museum offers more than just nostalgia. World-renowned experts in museum concepts, who have developed the Olympic Museum in Lausanne and major football museums in England, have contributed to the design of this unique centre.
Here you can, among other things, try your hand at biathlon in a simulator or get a sense of the intensity of the competition through the video installation "Inside the race". History enthusiasts can immerse themselves in an exclusive collection of artifacts, or explore a digital newspaper with media coverage of the 1952 and 1994 Olympics.
Olympic memories are equal to magical moments, and the museum gives you the opportunity to relive these. Through pictures, exhibitions and stories, both young and old can reminisce about the greatest moments in Olympic history.
Of course, the 1994 Olympics will be given a central place as part of Norway's unique hosting experience. The exhibition sheds light on the journey from post-war sobriety in 1952 to the oil economy's surplus in 1994, and emphasizes how the folk festival was just as powerful despite the different times.
This museum honors Norway's Olympic history and shows that Olympic heritage is about more than sports – it is also a history of culture and society. Perfect for sports enthusiasts, history buffs, culture enthusiasts and families of all ages.
