The IOC was founded in 1894 and was headquartered in Paris. In order to avoid the devastation of World War I, the headquarters were moved to Lausanne, Switzerland, which is known as the "International City of Culture". There is an Olympic Museum, an Olympic Research Center, a street named after Coubertin, a stadium, and much more.

Over the decades, Lausanne has made significant contributions to the development of the Olympic movement, and it is no wonder that some people refer to Lausanne as the "capital of the Olympics". It is in this wonderful city that the IOC has grown and developed and become known throughout the world.
