Room 47g: Korea

Korea, Room 47g

The Samsung Gallery

Tranquil green-glazed ceramics, silk embroideries from officials' robes and gleaming boxes inlaid with mother-of-pearl are among the treasures on display here. Made between 500 and 2000 AD, these diverse objects all reflect the love of natural forms that pervades the decorative arts of Korea.

Room 47g is on Level 1 of the V&A South Kensington.
