Many of these items, which date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, are being introduced to the public for the first time.
The event is organized by the National Museum of History in collaboration with the Vietnam Cultural Heritage Association and collector Dao Danh Duc, to commemorate the 79th anniversaries of the August Revolution and Vietnam’s National Day (September 2). It will run until October 2024 at the National Museum of History in Hanoi.
Champa, an ancient kingdom once located in central Vietnam from 192 to 1832, flourished from the 9th to 12th centuries. Its unique culture gave rise to exceptional artistic works, including renowned sites like the My Son Sanctuary, the Dong Duong monastery complex, and Mam Tower.
