Mission of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum

Honoring legacies. Educating generations. Inspiring greatness.

The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum offers an immersive and universally accessible look into the journey of Team USA’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes. Through interactive exhibits, innovative displays, and a comprehensive artifact collection, the 60,000-square-foot attraction instills the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect, as well as the Paralympic values of determination, equality, inspiration, and courage in every visitor. The Museum honors legends, while inspiring tomorrow’s legends through entertaining activities and cutting-edge storytelling. The USOPM is more than a museum, but a life-changing experience that will continue to educate and inspire generations to come.

MOST ACCESSIBLE AND INTERACTIVE MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

After guests enter the Museum and receive their Visitor Credential, the Museum experience begins with an elevator ride to the top floor. From there, a ramped path winds progressively downward to the main floor, creating a parallel visit experience for guests of all abilities as they venture through the interactive galleries.

The Museum is one of the most accessible and interactive museums in the world, designed so all guests experience the Museum the same way. Some of the universal design technologies include open captions, audio-description tracks, assisted listening, universal keypads, RFID-triggered customizations, accessible exhibit spaces with ramped experiences and more. Team USA athletes were involved and consulted throughout the project to ensure an authentic experience with universal design. The Museum is ADA compliant throughout.
