Olympic Art on Display at City Buildings | O'Fallon, Missouri

Описание: With the Summer Olympics coming in 2024, there’s no better way to get into the Olympic spirit than to enjoy the largest collection of Olympic art pieces in the world, this year showcased around city hall, the Krekel center, and Renaud Center. On loan from the St. Louis art gallery, Fine Arts Limited, the world's largest publisher of fine art commemorating special events, this collection truly captures the passion and mastery of these extraordinary athletes from Olympic history.

The founder of the modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, always wanted art to be part of the competition, and medals were given out for the arts from 1912 to the 1950s, with art finally being shifted to exhibitions instead of competition that decade.
