What is Inside the Box?
According to the official Olympic website, the 40cm long boxes contain the 2024 Paris Olympics poster. A renowned Parisian artist, Ugo Gattoni, designed the poster by hand. The artist said it took him about four months and 2,000 hours to create the posters. For the first time in history, the Olympic and Paralympic posters were designed as one.
It’s an incredible opportunity to have my work shown to the world, it’s great. It’s very important to me that a piece of art has a life in its own time, so it is absolutely fantastic that this drawing can be shown in a museum alongside paintings that are hundreds of years old
Details of the Paris Olympics Poster
The poster has small details, each with a story to tell. It features Paris in a cartoon version with landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triomphe, Pont Alexandre III, and River Seine. Other notable symbols include Olympic rings, Olympic medals, and depictions of sports like swimming, breaking, diving, and much more. Apart from the poster, Olympic medalists also get a mascot plush toy in their medal color written “bravo” on the back.
