Online media roundtable with Olympic Museum Director Angelita Teo and Deputy Director Yasmin Meichtry, joined by Domenico De Maio, Education and Culture Director at Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026. Together, they explore what the IOC, the Olympic Museum and the Milano Cortina 2026 Organising Committee are delivering beyond the field of play through the Milano Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympiad.
As the Olympic Movement’s leading institution for culture, heritage and values-based education, the Olympic Museum plays a central role in making Olympism accessible and meaningful to audiences worldwide. Home to the largest collection of Olympic artefacts in the world and one of Switzerland’s most visited museums, it welcomes around 400,000 visitors each year.
Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026 has been building this cultural and educational legacy well ahead of the Games, launching the Gen26 Education Programme in 2021 and the Cultural Olympiad in 2022 - creating a nationwide platform of initiatives that connect communities to Olympic values and creativity on the road to 2026.
