The Olympic Sailing Museum is located in the Olympic Sailing Center, the venue of the 2008 Olympic Sailing Competition. It is backed by Yanerdao Mountain and faces the sea, with beautiful scenery. The museum has a construction area of 9,359.8 square meters, with two floors above ground and one floor underground. The Sunshine Hall on the west side of the museum building has a unique shape. Through 13 steel structure racks rotating according to a certain rule, it forms a fan-like space system, just like a camera recording the moment of the sail's rotation frame by frame, merging them in the same time and space. The curved glass curtain wall is like rolling waves, reflecting the elements of the ocean city and giving people ample imagination space; the two major exhibition areas, outdoor and indoor, make comprehensive use of diversified display methods such as sound, light, and electrical high-tech multimedia, and use more than 1,000 precious collections in the museum to create a comprehensive composite exhibition effect with a communication effect. It is divided into eight parts, namely, the preface hall, the auxiliary exhibition area of the preface hall, the basic exhibition area, the special exhibition area, the interactive teaching area, the exchange exhibition hall, the academic activity hall, and the public service area. The museum takes the Olympic Sailing Competition as the core, the historical origin and development of the Olympic Sailing Competition as the clue, and China's century-old Olympic dream as the foundation, focusing on the whole process of Qingdao's cooperation with Beijing in bidding for the Olympic Games, welcoming the Olympic Games, and hosting the Olympic Games. The museum has a large collection of cultural heritage of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Sailing Competition. It not only treasures the sailboard that Chinese Olympic champion Yin Jian drove in the 2008 Olympic Sailing Competition, but also collects Olympic material heritage such as props cans, bamboo slips and costumes used in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. It has a three-dimensional sand table of the Olympic Sailing Competition venue, interactive experiences such as fun windsurfing, knots, and cans, a remote-controlled sailing training camp for young people, a 5D cinema, a 360-degree surround screen theater, and related information and query systems of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Sailing Competition. "The Olympic Sailing Museum is positioned as a large-scale thematic museum of Olympic relics with the Olympic Sailing Competition and Olympic Sailing culture as the main line, based on materials such as physical objects and pictures, supplemented by modern display methods, forming an interactive indoor exhibition with outdoor scenes." The person in charge of the museum told reporters that the Olympic Sailing Museum will be a public cultural venue facing the world, with unique purposes of education, research and appreciation, integrating collection, protection and display functions. The indoor exhibition of the museum adopts a combination of physical objects, materials, pictures and scene restoration, and comprehensively utilizes diversified display methods such as sound, light, electricity and high-tech multimedia to create a comprehensive composite exhibition effect with communication effect. The Olympic Sailing Museum received more than 1,100 exhibits donated by relevant units and all walks of life in Qingdao. Among them, the more precious ones are: Yin Jian, Xu Lijia, Eagle Bell-class Olympic sailing competition boats; Zhang Juanjuan's competition bow and arrows; an oil painting of "Greater Qingdao" by Mr. Bilic, a famous Australian painter; a painting of the museum's name inscribed by Mr. He Zhenliang; props such as cans and bamboo slips used in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games; a 21-meter Olympic paper-cut scroll donated by Residents, and a set of 500 Olympic seals.
