This exhibition honoured those British men and women who came to Korea’s aid and remembered those who came back to tell their story. When those British soldiers said goodbye to Korea 60 years ago they left a free country; the Korean people have never forgotten this hard earnt freedom, nor will it be.

Jikji is the title of the oldest known book to be printed using movable metal type. It is a Korean Buddhist document of Zen teaching made in Cheongju in 1377.  Exhibits ranging from fragile 600-year old cultural artefacts to a 60-degree virtual reality film, and from highly crafted work made from thousands of ceramic pieces spelling the word ‘seed’ in the Hangul (Korean) alphabet to a DNA portrait created on the glass from human cells.
