As the seat of the Olympic Committee, Lausanne is home to this high-tech museum celebrating sporting achievements through the ages. A multimedia affair with a wealth of fascinating items on show, the museum also boasts a collection of historical footage.
Amateur historians can enjoy a blissful day viewing film of Hitler at the 1936 Olympics or Tommie Smith's and John Carlos's Black Power stance in Mexico, as well as footage of the events that prompted their behaviour.
With a fine location overlooking Lake Leman at Ouchy, Lausanne's Olympic Museum is a must-see on a trip to the city.
