As part of International Museum Day, the Alekos Fassianos Museum offers a guided tour for 30 people.

The exhibition aims to introduce the breadth of Alekos Fassianos' work, featuring pieces from 1954 until the end of his life. It includes early works from the 1960s, influenced by abstraction during his early years in Paris, works inspired by Byzantine art, collages, mixed techniques, as well as both lesser-known and widely recognized paintings showcasing Fassianos' distinctive touch. The Myth of His Neighborhood unfolds through works depicting images and experiences from his childhood in Agios Pavlos and his wanderings through Athens. Heroes from his childhood merge with figures from Greek mythology, creating the timeless hero—the human being. Beyond the paintings, the exhibition also highlights the artist’s multifaceted personality, showcasing handmade objects, furniture, lighting, as well as texts he wrote, books he illustrated, and a rich archive of his involvement in set design and costume design for Aristophanes’ comedies and Eugène Ionesco's plays.

The exhibition unfolds in a handcrafted architectural creation by Kyriakos Krokos, where every detail, from the door knobs to the cupboard handles, the nails in the mirrors, to the frescoes and mosaic floors, was curated by Fassianos himself. The Alekos Fassianos Museum is of great significance for the contemporary artistic and architectural map of Athens, as it is one of the few museums in the world where the collaboration between the artist and the architect supports the dialogue between the works and the space that houses them.
