The BnF and the Cultural Heritage Administration of the Republic of Korea have recently signed a three-year cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening the scientific cooperation around the Korean collections of the BnF.
The first actions carried out under this agreement intent to facilitate the access of the Korean public to the exhibition “Printing! Gutenberg’s Europe”, in which Jikji – the oldest known book in the world printed with movable metal type – is presented for the first time in 50 years. The BnF also works together with the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, an entity affiliated with the Cultural Heritage Administration, to implement cooperation actions around this exhibition.
