Guangzhou Sports Culture Museum

The Guangzhou Sports Culture Museum (also known as the Guangzhou Asian Games and Asian Para Games Museum) was established in December 2011 and officially opened to the public on May 18, 2012. It was created to preserve the legacy of the 16th Asian Games Guangzhou 2010 and the First Asian Para Games Guangzhou 2010 after the conclusion of these events. Covering a total area of approximately 3,300 square meters, with over 2,700 square meters of exhibition space, the museum currently houses a collection of 671 sets of items from the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, 132 sets from the Guangzhou Asian Para Games, and 136 sets from previous Asian Games (excluding the 16th Guangzhou Asian Games). The museum features permanent exhibitions including the “Asian Games Theme Exhibition,” “Asian Para Games Special Exhibition,” “Guangzhou Marathon Special Exhibition,” “Champions’ Home Sculpture Exhibition,” and “Asian Youth Games Exhibition.” Since its establishment, the museum has pioneered a “sports culture + art” model in China, focusing on building two major brands: “Champions’ Home” and “Oral History.”
