Notes

Grenoble 1968, headscarf with the Games logo. The donor wrote: “Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, we had the chance to visit your Olympic Museum. As I’m not particularly sporty, the idea of going there hadn’t really appealed to me. Well, I can tell you I was absolutely blown away by the scale of the place and the many, highly educational exhibits. In 1968, living in Gap in the Hautes-Alpes department [of France], we saw the Olympic flame go by on its way to Grenoble, and I bought this headscarf as a souvenir.” Private donation
