Arts and culture have long been part of the Olympic programme. In Ancient Greece, art and sport were considered perfect partners. The idea was to achieve harmony by exercising both the body and the mind. With the birth of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, Pierre de Coubertin, founder of Modern Olympics, advocated for a strong alliance “among athletes, artists, and spectators”. At early editions of the Games (1912-1948), art competitions featured in the programme and medals were awarded in architecture, literature, musical composition, painting and sculpture.
