In collaboration with Nguyen Phong, one of the people directly involved in this significant project, Thua Thien Hue Weekly would like to present images illustrating the ongoing restoration progress at Thai Hoa Palace that are being executed with carefulness, scientific rigor, thoroughness, and at a faster pace than initially anticipated. Phong shared, “In this photo series, the most precious and personally significant to me is the photo revealing that the current color of the palace's roof tiles perfectly matches the color of the original artifacts on display at Vietnam National Museum of History in Hanoi. This shows that the existing roof tile color of Thai Hoa Palace has been returned to its “original value” by highly-skilled heritage restorers.”
