On the other hand, the exhibition space hosts the 20th-century Panorama, featuring plentiful exhibits that are related to Kyveli’s work and surroundings. Its main area also has a studying spot and an open-air space, making it able to house exhibitions, workshops, and a variety of other events!

Past events include an exhibition of the 200th anniversary since the start of the Greek Liberation, the Thalasea photography exhibition, and a plethora of poetry evenings. Moreover, the Kyveli Institute has ties to an array of high-profile institutions, collaborating with the Benaki Museum, the University of the Aegean, the National Opera, the National Theater of Northern Greece, and the Department of Theater Studies at the University of Athens, amongst others!
