Sports isn’t my thing, yet, I found the interactive displays at Cologne’s Deutsches Sport-und Olympia Museum absolutely fascinating. So, if you’re a sports fan, you will really enjoy experience this innovative museum. I say "experience" rather than "visit" because, for many of the attractions, that’s exactly what you do: get involved. At the biking exhibit, for example, you enter a wind tunnel, sit on a stationery bike and demonstrate your pedal power—then compare it with Tour de France participants. (Don’t feel badly, few people can equal them.)
At the (Broad Jump) setting, you can begin at the white line and jump along the measured lines, and see how well you compare.
At these, as well as displays that document the history of the Olympics and other sporting events, you relive the fascinating history of a wide range of sports from ice skating to skateboarding, football to ice hockey.
Visit this museum to relieve famous events in sporting history, be reminded of others you had forgotten, and learn about ones you didn’t know about. All this and more is here to help you gain an appreciation or an even great appreciation for the wide world of sports.
