Muscat – Oman Olympic Committee (OOC) will inaugurate the Omani Olympic Museum on Sunday at its headquarters in Ghubra under the patronage of H H Sayyid Dr Adham bin Turki al Said.

The museum marks a key step in OOC’s efforts to document the evolution of sports in Oman and promote Olympic values. It combines interactive exhibits with historical records, offering a platform that highlights Omani athletes’ achievements in regional and international competitions.

Designed to preserve Oman’s sporting memories and strengthen national identity, the museum features medals, sports equipment, digital displays and audio-visual content tracing the development of sports in the sultanate.

‘The museum reflects Oman’s presence in the Olympic arena and serves as an inspiration for the next generation,’ the OOC stated. It presents stories of successful Omani athletes and aims to support youth by showcasing role models who have contributed to the country’s sports history.

The museum also highlights Oman’s participation in the global Olympic movement and its cooperation with organisations such as International Olympic Committee, Olympic Council of Asia, and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth. The facility includes sections on the history of the Olympic Games, Olympic torches and OOC memorabilia. It has sections dedicated to Omani women in sports, Paralympic disciplines and memorable moments from past games. A gift shop featuring Olympic-themed products is also part of the museum.
