On a floor space of 1,500 square meters, the one-week exhibition will show the visitors a number of photographs and objects, many of which are displayed for the first time.

The exhibition gives a clear picture of the work of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) in the past six years, highlighting the progress of the Olympic preparations and the campaign to promote good manners and civility.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the city will hold a series of activities to publicize the Olympics, including a series of Olympic lectures and "cultural forums" to arouse citizens' enthusiasm for the Games and encourage them to take part in them.

At the launching ceremony, BOCOG officials presented copies of the Olympic Reader and other education materials to the city.

The exhibition was first opened in Beijing from April 28-May 7, where it received a warm welcome from the public.
