The Olympic Sailing Museum, located at Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center, Shandong province, was open to the public on August 9.
The museum, with an exhibition area of 4,000 square meters, uses China’s century-old aspiration for the Olympics as its background. It will showcase Qingdao’s involvement alongside Beijing during the course of the 29th Olympic Games in 2008, as well as the cultural value of the Sailing Games.
Several exhibits, which were contributed by various society circles, can be viewed, including a large-scale sea view sand plan, wall-type sand plans, sailing elites’ statues and sailing boats.
