Spanning an area of over 26,000 square meters, this Olympic-themed museum was established in 2009, a year after the conclusion of the 2008 Summer Olympics in the Chinese capital. Situated just south of the renowned National Stadium, commonly known as the "Bird's Nest," the newly renovated museum proudly showcases Beijing's illustrious legacy as a dual Olympic city.
