Museu Olimpic i de l'Esport Joan Antoni Samaranch

The Joan Antoni Samaranch Olympic and Sports Museum is located in the heart of Montjuïc, an iconic Barcelona landmark that exudes sport and achievement. This space invites you to immerse yourself in the Olympic world and relive key moments in the city's sporting history, especially that magical summer of 1992 that marked a turning point.

The Museum impresses from the very first moment with its broad, modern approach to sport in all its forms. Thanks to the most innovative technologies and interactive multimedia spaces, the visit becomes an immersive adventure where every corner invites you to play, experiment, and be thrilled.

Here, you don't just watch: you can run alongside Usain Bolt, swim like Michael Phelps, pedal to feel the force of air resistance, or try to lift the weights that weightlifting champions move. It's much more than a museum: it's a first-person sports experience.

Tribute to the history of sport

This space also pays tribute to the great names and moments that have left their mark on the history of sport and the Olympics. Among them, Juan Antonio Samaranch stands out. He presided over the International Olympic Committee for more than two decades and played a key role in the international projection of the Games.

The visit invites us to take a journey through the memory of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, appreciating the spirit of achievement, respect, and camaraderie that the Olympic movement represents.

Beyond major events and iconic figures, the museum also gives voice to what is often overlooked: grassroots sport, the fight for gender equality, the inclusion of all without exception, and the close connection between sport and society. A committed perspective that reminds us that sport is, above all, a tool for transformation and cohesion.

Featured spaces and exhibitions

The tour of the museum takes you through spaces as diverse as they are fascinating:

• An interactive area where you can test yourself with simulators that will allow you to experience the sport firsthand.
• The Samaranch Space, which captures the career and legacy of a key figure in understanding modern Olympism.
• The permanent exhibition dedicated to the Barcelona '92 Olympic Games, featuring original artifacts, period images, and an emotional journey to one of the city's most special moments.
• Temporary exhibitions that change frequently offer new perspectives on today's sport, its protagonists, and the values that make it so essential to society.
