26 July – 11 August 2024
Parc des Nations de Paris la Villette
AICO and AFCOS (French Association of Olympic and Sports Collectors), are pleased to announce that Olympic collectors, who are passionate for a day or a lifetime, will have the privilege of meeting, and trading in a unique place, open to all.
At the heart of the celebrations, near Club France, at the Parc des Nations in Paris la Villette, the Folie des Merveilles de Villette MAKERZ, a true collaborative and creative setting, will become the House of the French and International Association of Olympic Collectors. It will host two major cultural events throughout the Olympic Games revolving around Olympic collections and collectors, labelled “Cultural Olympiad” by Paris 2024.
Olympic Collectors Area
Where collectors and fans of the Olympics will be able to freely trade their little Olympic treasures or acquire them: pins, mascots, torches, cards … and any other Olympic collectibles.
The opportunity to meet Olympic enthusiasts from all over the world and to find, perhaps, the Olympic souvenir you were missing, or to start your collection? It will be now or never!
Admission is free, only tables will have to be reserved (slots of 4 hours), allowing as many people as possible to have a space to exhibit what they want and interact with visitors. Everyone will be able to book, within the limit of available slots.

The International Exhibition
« 24 héritages olympiques »
24 Olympic collectors selected from around the world representing 9 countries, and the diversity of the Olympic Movement, will showcase their views on the richness of Olympic culture through their collections.
Each collection, through its objects and documents (all original), tell a story, both personal and universal, and will bear witness to the Olympic heritage and passion of the exhibiting collector.
A portrait of each selected collector, with the history of their collection, and the message they want to convey, will introduce each of the 24 Olympic legacies.
