From April till October 2012 and 2013, The Olympic Museum will have a temporary presence on the MS Helvétie, a boat belonging to the Compagnie générale de navigation (General Navigation Company, CGN) moored in front of The Museum. This Belle Époque boat, one of the largest in the CGN fleet, has not been used for the last nine years, after being retired following 75 years' service on Lake Geneva. Its 600m2 of exhibition space will display a significant portion of The Museum's Olympic contents.
Entry to the boat will be free and will enable visitors unaware of the closure of The Museum still to review some Olympic memorabilia. Between 100,000 and 200,000 visitors are expected during the renovation period, according to The Museum's estimates.
This year the first day will be April 5th, 2012. Make sure to take advantage of the great Spring weather!
