Two thousand years of Korean art, most of it never seen in Britain before.
HistoryArt & design
At British Museum.
The most complete survey of Korean art shown in Europe for forty years, drawn almost entirely from the 23,000 works that Samsung's late chairman Lee Kun-Hee left to Korea's national museums in 2021. It runs from gold body ornaments and Buddhist icons of the first centuries through the celadon-glazed stoneware of the 12th and 13th centuries, ink landscapes, a six-panel Sun, Moon and Five Peaks screen, and on to painters answering the upheavals of the 20th century. Many pieces are designated National Treasures, and most have never left Korea for the UK.
In Room 35 off the Great Court. Adult tickets from £14 on the early-bird offer; Members go free. The exhibition is closed on 1 and 2 December.
