Curator Collection, 1936 Olympic Games // Members only
September 14 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Join us for a look back on the Berlin and Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936 Olympic Games with our extensive collection of souvenirs collected by spectators who experienced the Games firsthand. While these 1936 Games were innovative for creating the first Olympic torch and torch relay, the pageantry and publicity were used as propaganda by the host, Nazi Germany. Learn more about these Olympic Games and get a closer look at items that are not on display, such as Jesse Owens’ autograph, programs, tickets, scrapbooks and more.
Members will have the opportunity to visit our 1936 Games display case after the presentation, in addition to visiting the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition at the Pikes Peak Library District’s East Library.
