The artifacts are selected from the Museum’s collections of ceramic objects salvaged from sunken vessels. The exhibit, entitled “Ocean secrets from ancient shipwrecks”, highlights Vietnam’s sea, maritime trade, pottery products, the silk route at sea, and ships salvaged from Vietnam’s seabed.
The exhibit will run through May. A similar event took place in South Korea from November 2017 to last April.
