Established in 2000 through the generous support of the Korea Foundation and receiving a significant refurbishment in 2014 with funds from the National Museum of Korea, the Korean gallery at the British Museum stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit and dedication to cultural preservation. In selecting Bona Traffic Matt for the gallery's flooring from the outset, a deliberate choice was made to complement the exquisite elegance of the Korean artifacts on display. This flooring solution, chosen for its classic, natural, and understated aesthetic, offers robust protection while ensuring that nothing detracts from the value and beauty of the exhibits themselves.

This gallery is more than a space; it is a gateway to the rich tapestry of the Korean peninsula’s art, history, and culture. It serves as a confluence of significant collections from the British Museum and its esteemed partner, the National Museum of Korea, offering visitors an unparalleled insight into the heritage and enduring legacy of Korea. Through meticulous curation and the use of flooring selected for its quality, appearance and performance, the exhibit reflects a thoughtful approach to presenting and preserving its cultural artifacts.
