The collection
Art and architecture significantly contribute to the EPO’s corporate identity by bringing cultural responsibility to life. They express the core values and heritage of our international organisation and underpin the EPO’s commitment to offering a stimulating and inspiring working environment for more than 6000 employees in Europe. By reflecting the dynamic, innovative nature of the EPO, which combines creativity, technical expertise and high-quality products and services, the EPO art collection has become one of the world’s leading corporate art collections.
