Cultural Exchanges in August

1、Olympic Treasure Exhibition China Tour

More than 700 collection pieces from the International Olympic Committee Olympic Museum started touring China on August 8, 2007, the one-year countdown to the opening of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

The exhibition, co-sponsored by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Chinese Olympic Committee and the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), is featured by "five complete sets", namely a complete set of Olympic torches, victory medals, commemorative stamps, Olympic Games posters, and mascots. In addition, a collection of the films for each edition of the Olympic Games and over 200 precious photographs are also included.

The exhibition is the largest of its kind to be held outside the IOC headquarters under IOC support. Many exhibits, including a complete set of Olympic Summer Games' torches and victory medals are touring a country outside Europe for the first time. It heralds IOC's campaign series to publicize the Beijing Olympics in the one-year run-up to the Games.
