See what a traditional Korean home, or hanok, looks like, designed with the idea of 'borrowing from nature its beauty'. The Korean Gallery presents an intimate, homely space that expresses the living philosophy of its inhabitants. Importantly, the exhibition combines 19th-century design with contemporary Korean design inspired by tradition.

Divided space - Woman/Man. The gallery symbolically represents two spaces - the saranbang, the male part, and the anbang, the female part. The division of the Korean home is linked to strictly defined social roles in a patriarchal society. The arrangement of objects depicts the functions of the interiors such as work, meals and toileting and reflects the Confucian idea of moderation. Traditional beliefs permeate the interiors in the form of symbols of luck - carp, butterflies, bats - reproduced in the ornaments.

The majority of the Korean collection consists of 19th and 20th century wooden furniture, finely crafted and carved and decorated with metal fittings. The entire collection is complemented by antique and modern ceramics, decorative pieces and contemporary metal and plastic furniture inspired by traditional design.
