Enjoyed our 2 hour walk through. Our boys (13 and 9) thoroughly enjoyed their journey through the history of the Olympics... especially having just followed the Tokyo Olympic event

Fascinating! The Tokyo 2020 exhibition was great. You can enjoy the museum regardless of your interest in sports too. Very fun, I highly recommend!
