The idea for a museum that carries on the history and authentic spirit of the Olympic Games was born during the 2004 period. Today, the Athens Olympic Museum at the Olympic Park holds a permanent exhibition of Olympic Games memorabilia, athletes’ testimonies, and artefacts from Greek antiquity to present. The museum is also connected (through a footbridge) to the Athens Olympic Sports Centre “Spyros Louis” (OAKA), home to the 2004 Olympic Games and designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
