Samsung Art Store museum collection expansions

Overview

Samsung Electronics is expanding its Samsung Art Store, a subscription service for compatible televisions, by adding collections from major international museums.

In July 2026, the service expanded its catalog to 51 works through a partnership with the Louvre, adding 34 new pieces including Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’. Samsung Electronics France entertainment vice-president Guillaume Rault stated the partnership allows “millions of people bring these unparalleled works into their homes”.

In August 2026, the Art Store added 43 masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna. This collection includes works by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Johannes Vermeer, and Gustav Klimt. Following previous partnerships with the Louvre and the Prado Museum, this collaboration features iconic pieces such as Bruegel’s ‘The Tower of Babel’, Vermeer’s ‘The Art of Painting’, and Klimt’s ‘Nuda Veritas’, alongside works by Rubens, Velázquez, Caravaggio, Titian, Rembrandt, and Raphael.

The service continues to utilize 4K resolution and anti-reflective matte display coatings to display its growing catalog of approximately 5,000 works, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional museum visits and home digital viewing.
