cork board

Pushpin display panel

A cork board is a panel made of cork material, typically framed and hung on a wall, used for pinning notes, photos, reminders, and other papers.

The soft, porous surface of cork allows pushpins and thumbtacks to penetrate easily and hold items in place.

Cork boards are common in offices, kitchens, and dorm rooms for organizing information: She pinned the concert tickets to the cork board.

Also spelled as one word: corkboard.
