I was not impressed by the quality of the exhibitions here, which consist mainly of sporting equipment without much organization or thematic context.

The museum property itself is well located on the lake and actually quite interesting. The exhibits inside the museum we found to be lackluster. I suppose it is worth a visit if you decide to stay in Lausanne, but don't come just for this attraction.

Has all the history of all the modern Olympic games to date and previous that were undertaken by ancient Greece. Loved the history and information contained therein. Give yourself at least a day to explore the place fully - it took me 2 - but I stopped to read everything!
