SPORT IN FOCUS
COLLECTIONS OF THE OLYMPIC MUSEUM AND PHOTO ELYSÉE
Sport in Focus unveils the vast photographic collections of the Olympic Museum and the Photo Elysée museum in Lausanne. During major competitions, photographs are intended to draw attention to the athletes’ performances. By exploring a largely unpublished photographic heritage, this exhibition offers us a narrative that sheds light on sports photography and the Olympic Games in particular.
