Seoul Olympic Museum is a special theme museum which focuses on Olympic that aims to be a world famous tourist attraction. At present, it has over 7,000 Olympic souvenirs with various imagery data and films and is attracting over 100,000 of tourists every year. However, the original activities of museum such as art & science study get tardy after 10 years of operation and targeted visitors are mainly focused on group viewing including elementary school students and the request for overall change is getting stronger.

Also, Olympic Museum is liable for expanding the spirit of Olympic to teenagers who will lead our society in the future and contributing to make healthy community base on well-made programs.

From this point of view, this study suggests some methods to improve deterioration and meet various social needs as a youth educational institution which tries to expand Olympic movement.
As a start-up, previous studies on revitalization method and data about special museums are reviewed including domestic and international sports museum cases to understand emerging problems in regard to deterioration of facilities. Most of all, some of exhibition items which can make up for lack of experience exhibition program are suggested after the review. And then, revitalization tools to improve the exhibition facilities, direction planning, and operation are suggested.
