WITH the London 2012 Games starting tomorrow, the history of the Olympics is being told in a new exhibition at Banbury Museum.
Dreams of Gold will run until September 8 at the Castle Quay shopping centre attraction.
It includes news clips from the 1948 London Olympics and early Olympian costumes for youngsters to try on.
Exhibits also include a gold medal won by Kings Sutton’s Beverley Gull for 400m freestyle swimming at the 1988 Seoul Paralympics.
George Reynolds, deputy leader at Cherwell District Council, said: “This is a chance to grab some Olympic excitement.”
Admission is free.
