The Olympic Movement: A World History as a Legacy

From Friday 13 November to Friday 27 November 2026

With Festisol Haut Jura Collective

“This exhibition aims to encourage reflection on the achievements of the past while highlighting the many obstacles these pioneering athletes—who embodied Olympic diversity—had to overcome. It tells the story of these female athletes—such as the Americans Ethelda Bleibtrey and Margaret Abbott, and the Frenchwoman Suzanne Lenglen—who defied the conservative attitudes toward sports of their time to rise to the rank of Olympic champions.”

On November 13, 2026, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., a lecture by Stéphane Kronenberger, a contemporary historian and Ph.D. in history from the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, on the exhibition “Olympism: A World History as a Legacy.”
