Los diferentes edificios del Consejo de Europa albergan una notable colección de obras de arte. Los Estados miembros y no miembros, las autoridades locales y regionales, e incluso los propios artistas han donado obras de arte al Consejo. Estos regalos simbolizan la vinculación de sus donantes con una de las organizaciones políticas más antiguas de Europa. Son una expresión tangible de su apoyo a esta organización que considera los derechos humanos como el punto central de la sociedad, a la vez que sirven para reconocer que los y las artistas juegan un rol vital en la definición de actitudes y comportamientos.
