A few words about the Challenge: The historic Spyros Louis Cup, presented to the winner of the first Olympic marathon at the inaugural modern Olympic Games, which was inspired and designed by Michel Bréal and acquired in an auction by the SNF with the goal of making it freely accessible to the public by putting it on display at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), will travel to one of the world’s most prominent museums this year. From April 24th to September 16th, 2024, the Cup will be at the Louvre Museum in Paris as one of the centerpieces of the upcoming temporary exhibition “Olympism: Modern Invention, Ancient Legacy”, organized in collaboration with the Ecole Française d' Athènes to coincide with the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
