For an evening the Parliament   is transformed into an art gallery.

The exhibition's opening celebrates   ten new works by Polish artists.

The price of the works is 150,000 euros.

I think that even though the Wall   the Berlin Wall, does not exist,

people included in   my presentation are fleeing.

People who have to cross the border,   hoping to get to a better world.

People are still running away. My statues   represent something that is still going on.

The Parliament's art collection   has 363 paintings and sculptures

The general public   cannot admire these works in person,

I'm going to open a gallery   on the internet soon.

You can see all the EP's works   on our website.

It's a magnificent collection   with over 300 works.

So we're going to open a digital gallery   that everyone can visit.

This year the spotlight is on artists from   the new Member States.

In 2010, Maltese, Slovenian and Slovakian   works will grace the collection.
