Samsung Electronics said it will present 30 representative works from the British Museum on Samsung Art Store, its art subscription service for Samsung TVs, according to reports by Asia Economy, Newsis and Maeil Business on Oct. 7. Newsis carried the announcement in its headline; its accessible article text dealt with an unrelated financial-sector hacking story. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Samsung Art Store is described as a subscription art service for Samsung TVs that offers more than 5,000 works from museums and artists in 4K, according to Asia Economy and Maeil Business. The British Museum collection is organised around 19th-century British landscape painting, the two outlets reported, citing John Constable's “Willy Lott's Cottage” and “Fisherton Mill” and J.M.W. Turner's “A Storm (Shipwreck)” and “The Colosseum, Rome” among the works. [ 1 , 3 ]
The collaboration follows Samsung's partnership with the museum. Asia Economy and Maeil Business reported that Samsung is an official corporate partner of the British Museum's special exhibition “Korea: 2,000 years of Creativity,” which opened on Oct. 1 and runs to Jan. 31. [ 1 , 3 ]
Samsung said the works can be viewed on its art TV line-up, including the OLED model launched this year, The Frame, The Frame Pro, Micro RGB and Neo QLED, and that its screens use a special surface coating that spreads light in different directions so artworks remain clear in bright sunlight or with lights on.

Lee Gwi-ho, a vice president in Samsung's visual display business, said the company is “working to help more Samsung TV users easily access world-class artworks through technology,” according to both reports. Lisa San Martin, the British Museum's director of business, said she was pleased the collaboration lets viewers around the world enjoy the museum's collection at home and hoped it would be a chance to revisit familiar masterpieces and discover new ones.

Maeil Business also reported that Samsung receives about 5,000 works in 4K from roughly 80 partners, including the Louvre, Orsay, Metropolitan and Tate, and that in December last year it opened a free “Lee Kun-hee Collection” of 20 Korean works with the National Museum of Korea. None of the reports stated when the British Museum collection becomes available or at what price. [ 3 ]
Por qué importa
The announcement ties Samsung's art-TV content platform to one of the world's best-known museums, which the company and the museum present as a way to bring its collection into homes. For Samsung, the coverage is mostly a product and content-marketing story around its premium TV line-up, rather than a new device or financial result. Modest significance outside Korea, though both Samsung and the British Museum have global audiences.
