Das Buch widmet sich zum einen den sieben Kunstwerken, die als Kunst am Bau für das Humboldt Forum geschaffen wurden und an verschiedenen Orten des Gebäudes zu besichtigen sind. Zum anderen präsentiert das Buch weitere sieben Werke zeitgenössischer Kunst, die auf den Flächen der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin und des Stadtmuseums Berlin im Humboldt Forum realisiert und in die jeweiligen Dauerausstellungen integriert wurden.

A Japanese teahouse, an audio installation with Nigerian sounds, and a bronze flagpole divided in two: In the extensive areas of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin, it is possible to discover numerous, in part large-scale works of contemporary art. Artworks by artists from various societies of origin enrich the collections in the exhibitions of the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art. In addition, seven works of art-in-architecture that deal with the history of the location or with the Humboldt Forum as a "place for the world’s cultures," encounters, and exchange, or are dedicated to Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt, for whom the institution is named, have been realized in the Humboldt Forum. This book presents the artworks in informative texts that are rich in associations as well as in impressive photographs.
