Opened in 1999, the Sport & Olympics Museum is one of Cologne's newest museums - a chance to experience sport at its best. With around 2,000m² of exhibition and interactive space on two floors, it offers a fascinating insight into the history and transformation of sport. Covering a whole range of sports, it depicts various aspects of national, international and Olympic sport in a permanent and temporary exhibition. The collection features 2,500 years of sports history, clothing, sports and games equipment, medals, certificates, sports awards, graphics, photos, videos and much more. Highlights include a cycle race in a wind tunnel, a boxing ring with sand bags and playing football on the highest sports pitch in Cologne. The sports studio depicts the beginnings of the media age and sporting highlights. Closed on Mondays, guided tours on request.
