From 19 February 2015 to 26 January 2016, The Olympic Museum presents “The Olympic Games: Behind the Screen”. This exhibition explores the history of broadcasting the Games on radio and television, as well as looking at how the Games will be experienced in the future.

Thanks to their audiovisual coverage, each edition of the Games creates a global community around the host city. The exhibition looks at this universal dimension of broadcasting from two angles: the new technology used in the cause of sporting excellence to develop original solutions for viewers around the world; and the creation of emotions made possible by systems to broadcast content above and beyond the purely sporting performance.
