MUSÉOPARC ALÉSIA

Exhibition

In the year of the Olympic Games in Paris, the MuséoParc Alésia offers a temporary exhibition on these unique games, from their origins to the present day. Accessible to children and adults alike, the museography makes the visitor an active participant in the exhibition. As soon as you enter, you become an athlete who must follow the course on the floor to reach the finish line! As you progress, you'll discover new themes. Discover Olympia, where the ancient games were held, understand why they were created and which buildings were built to host them. Then, meet the athletes who left their mark on their era, and discover the different events authorized over the centuries and competitions. Thanks to the use of facsimile objects, you can touch the ancient discus used for throwing, as well as weights and a javelin. Based on historical and archaeological discoveries, this immersive exhibition makes the link between ancient games and the modern Olympic Games, revived by a certain Pierre de Coubertin in 1896.

Until November 30, the MuseoParc teams are organizing events and activities on the theme of the Olympic Games, to create a bridge between past and present. Immerse yourself in the daily life of an athlete as you stroll along the MuseoParc terrace to the sound of the Olympian forest, try your hand at ancient events or attend an archaeological conference on the Olympic theme.
