Today we know the Olympics as a globally celebrated, highly organized competition for top athletes, but this was not always the case. Uncover the wonderfully rich, and at times odd, history of the first several modern Olympic Games with Tracy V. Wilson and Holly Frey, cohosts of the podcast Stuff You Missed in History Class. Wilson and Frey will discuss the uneasy start of the modern Olympic movement through the life of Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin, considered father of the modern Olympic Games.
This talk is part of Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art.
