Introduction

홈 > Overview > Introduction

Creation of the Museum
The Seoul Olympic Museum opened its door on
September 18, 1990 to remember the glory and
success of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. This is also
in order to pass down the Olympic spirits to our
future generations by creating a world-class tourist
attraction as education and entertainment complex.
Vision of the Museum
The 1988 Seoul Olympics broke down the dividing walls of race,
religion and ideologies.
Capturing vivid emotions and joys of Seoul Olympic and recreating it as an
exhibition art, the Seoul Olympic Museum opens the doors of the 21st century
as an ever-evolving institution.
Providing various programs, operating cyber museum, and by providing useful
information on sports and culture, the museum is open to the public and their
active participation.
In addition, in order to become a world-class education and entertainment
complex and to be at the center of future 21st century Olympics around the
world, the museum needs your love and support. Please love and support the
Seoul Olympic Museum.
