The European Parliament’s rich collection of contemporary art, which brings together works by artists from across the EU, is a celebration of the EU’s motto – ‘United in Diversity’. Contemporary art holds a prominent place in the Parliament, with over 500 artworks spread across its key working spaces. It is a daily reminder of the EU’s journey so far and what is yet to be built and created.

The growing art collection spans over 50 years of EU achievements and aspirations and the Parliament often showcases different artworks through thematic exhibitions and dedicated events.
