The article tries to highlight the phenomenon of integrating art collections into public buildings, focusing on the example of an international juridical institution exhibiting art from different countries. The motivation for collecting art in such spaces is often to improve the aesthetics of the building, to promote diverse perspectives and reflections through art. The creation of this unique collection in the late 1960s was a pioneering initiative undertaken 50 years ago by the European Court of Justice based in Luxembourg and has since been adopted by other international European institutions. The exhibition of art in public buildings can be considered from the perspective of social capital or the dimension of the sociology of art. The motives are not always obvious and the social influences remain unspecified, there is also an aspect of the historical context of the selection of artists and their works and diplomacy through art.
