After a nail-biting auction held at Christie’s South Kensington in London, the famous cup of Spyros Louis fell into Greek hands once again and according to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation will now be on display for all Greek people at its Cultural center which should be complete by 2015. Just a short while ago, the Foundation announced that it acquired the Breal’s Silver Cup, (which was the first award given to Greece at the first modern Olympic Games that were held in Athens in 1896) for some 450,000 pounds following a very heated auction. In a press release, the Foundation announced that it will place the cup on display at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center but in the interim, it will work to find a suitable and temporary location for display.
