Musée National du Sport
The Musée National du Sport in Nice showcases France’s sports history with over 45,000 objects and 400,000 documents in a 2,000 m² immersive exhibition space.
Planning your visit
The Musée National du Sport moved from Paris to Nice in 2014 and is installed inside the Allianz Riviera stadium, home of OGC Nice — which is an appropriate setting for a collection about sport rather than a conventional gallery.
Over 45,000 objects and 400,000 documents cover French and international sporting history: equipment, trophies, kit, and material associated with major athletes and events. The Tour de France, French football including the 1998 World Cup, rugby, tennis and the Olympic movement are all represented, with Pierre de Coubertin's role in reviving the Games a natural thread.
Interactive stations let visitors test reaction times and physical performance against athletes' benchmarks.
The stadium tour is available alongside, covering the pitch, dressing rooms and technical areas.
The Allianz Riviera is outside central Nice, reachable by tram. Allow two hours for both. Bookable options combine stadium tour and museum. Current availability is shown below.
