COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Tribune News Service) — The Olympic Games might have been postponed in 2020, but the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum still won the equivalent of a gold medal.
The venue, which opened last summer in downtown Colorado Springs, was named this month as the nation's best new attraction for 2020 by USA Today.
The 60,000-square-foot museum honors the Olympic and Paralympic movements and their athletes through artifacts, displays and exhibits. Its cutting-edge technology such as mobile apps, video captions, audio description tracks and universal keypads guide visitors through the Olympic and Paralympic experience.
