U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum
Interactive galleries tell Olympic and Paralympic stories together, with athlete voices, adaptive equipment, medals, and a spiraling accessible route. Ride to the top and follow the continuous descending path; the building was designed so visitors with different mobility needs share one sequence.

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum (USOPM) is a historical and cultural sports museum located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, first opened on July 30, 2020. The museum is part of the City for Champions development project in Colorado Springs, though it licenses the Olympic name and operates separately from the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC). The museum recognizes Olympic and Paralympic athletes who have represented Team USA.
Ride to the top and follow the continuous descending path; the building was designed so visitors with different mobility needs share one sequence. Give the adaptive-sport stations time—the engineering of racing chairs, prostheses, and technique adds substance beyond medal-table spectacle.
