From February to October 2008, in the framework of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing, the Olympic Museum is focusing on China, with a major exhibition both inside and outside in the park, a wide range of events and a broad educational program. Beijing 2008 will be a chance to discover modern China with the Olympic Games acting as a catalyst, but also traditional China. To put this project in place, the Museology and education and cultural services sections have sought the services of two eminent figures: Roger Pfund as artistic director and Gérald Béroud as adviser and coordinator.

Parallel to the exhibition, a vast programme of educational and cultural events will take place in five main phases, from 6 February 2008 (the Chinese New Year) to 16 October.
