Olympic Council of Asia to open first Asian Games Virtual Museum in October
Kuwait City – The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) will launch the Asian Games Virtual Museum in October, creating the first comprehensive digital archive of Asia's premier sporting competition.
The museum spans seven decades of competition, available in dozens of languages including English, Arabic, Mandarin and Russian, ensuring fans across Asia can explore their sporting heritage whether browsing on a phone or diving into full VR.
'This museum tells the stories that shaped Asian sport,' said Husain Al-Musallam, OCA Director General. 'Every medal ceremony, every record broken, every moment of triumph – they all find a home here. It's how we honour our athletes and share their achievements with the world.'
The platform features interactive timelines tracking the Games' growth from 11 participating countries to the 45 OCA member nations. Users can search the archive by sport, country, or athlete, with content available in multiple Asian languages.
