The exhibit, titled "Sport in Art," is not an easy place to get to, and certainly, you wouldn't guess from the dinosaur statue outside the museum that inside, they're housing art by U.S. Olympians like Allyson Felix, Tyson Gay and Jeremy Wariner, along with a few other names you might recognize: Gilbert Arenas (pictured above), David Beckham, Lionel Messi and Ian Thorpe. The exhibit -- which started in Shanghai and has toured five cities in China this year -- is open here in Beijing until the end of the Games.

It's our duty here at the Rocky's Olympic blog to take you inside things (un)related to these Games. So enjoy an inside access tour of "Sport in Art." The address for how to get to the exhibit is after the slideshow. It's a bit easier to find it if you have it.
