Olympic Museum - Lausanne

The Olympic flame burns bright in Switzerland, in fact all of the torches used for the modern Olympic Games are on display there.

The museum features a permanent display, and regularly adds temporary features.

The current subject is sailing, and apparently there was an exhibition on Santiago Calatrava, who you may have read about in the St Gallen post, but that ended today. Doh!

I haven’t been to the museum yet, so if you have, please let me know what you thought.

I hope to visit soon, though, and will provide more details then.  I just thought you ought to know it was there!
