The J. F. Costopoulos Foundation, wishing to honour the presence and contribution of Yannis Costopoulos in fields beyond banking, organises the exhibition "A man of many facets":  A celebration of the life of Yannis Costopoulos, three years after his death in 2021.

The exhibition is hosted in the Spyridon & Eurydice Costopoulos Gallery of the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture – the temporary exhibitions gallery which the museum named after the parents of Yannis Costopoulos in tribute to his generosity and support.

The stage-designed setting of the exhibition is inspired by the line “with wisdom and vision” from “The Free Besieged” of Dionysios Solomos – a favourite quotation of Yannis Costopoulos. A frame is thus organised, a ‘scaffold’ to hold up the dream, a ‘veil’ to keep the private facet of the public man constantly out of view while leaving room for the viewer’s imagination.

Made up of five parts, the exhibition presents Yannis Costopoulos’s varied interests and multiple activities.
