Inside are most of the most priceless artifacts from the Olympics. Even 22 years later, this is still a hot tourist attraction and a money making endeavor all together. Outside, there is a statue that symbolizes what the olympics are all about including what is kept inside this museum. This Wikipedia entry is in English. "The Joan Antoni Samaranch Olympic and Sports Museum (Catalan: Museu Olímpic i de l'Esport Joan Antoni Samaranch, IPA: [mu'z?w u'?impig i ð? ??s'p?rd ?u'an ?n't?ni s?m?'ra?]) opened in 2007 at the Olympic Ring in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The museum is located in front of the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium at the Montjuïc hill. In June 2010 it was renamed in honour of Juan Antonio Samaranch, who was president of the International Olympic Committee from 1980 to 2001 and a key person during the 1992 Summer Olympics, which were held in Barcelona."
