In the year of the Olympic Games in Paris, sport is taking on an ever-increasing role at the Musée Grévin. Following in the footsteps of Théo Curin, Baron Pierre de Coubertin will be making his debut before the Paris Games kick off on July 26, 2024. Born in 1863, he is regarded as the father of the modern Olympic Games and contributed to the development of sport in France. But he is also highly controversial, due to his misogynistic and racist comments, believing that a"female Olympiadwould be uninteresting" or that "races are of different value".
