The Lake Placid Olympic Museum is the only Olympic museum in North America that interprets the stories of two Olympic Winter Games—1932 and 1980.
The museum has a rich and extensive collection of Olympic material including items documenting Lake Placid’s sports history from 1895 to present and objects documenting the history and stories of the Olympic Games dating back to Ancient Greece.
Our collection is considered second only to the International Olympic Committee’s museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
