Hello!
I have purchased a large tile, 80x180cm, that I wish to hang on the wall as a decorative piece.
What is the best solution for hanging it?
I have an idea that you could glue the tile onto a board, which can have "hooks" attached to it and then be hung on screws in the wall. But what type of board should one choose in that case?
Does anyone have suggestions on how I can do this?

Sounds like a good plan. If it's a dry space, choose a plywood board. If it's a humid area like a bathroom or sauna, choose fiber cement/minerit.
Glue with a construction adhesive suitable for both surfaces. Suggested options are PL200, PL400, etc., but I can never remember which is which, so read the tube before you choose.

It likely works.
The advantage of flexible glue is that the glue joint withstands movement better, as you are thinking. This allows the plywood to move. On the other hand, one could argue that a non-flexible glue holds the plywood in place better, preventing it from moving (i.e., preventing it from buckling, etc.).
I don't know which of the arguments is most correct in this case. My gut feeling says thin plywood and non-flexible glue. But I'm not an expert on this and not certain.
Probably both work excellently well.
