More than 200 images, documents and artifacts about President Ho Chi Minh introduced

The 200 antique objects including pottery and ceramics which are not only connected with Buddhism but also valuable heritage are on display to the public at the Museum of Nguyen Dynasty Commissioned Porcelains.

Though without the vibrant flowers adorning the streets and alleys, nor the sweet confections filling every kitchen, the excitement and national pride on Independence Day remain undiminished in the hearts of every Vietnamese citizen. This sacred and eternal spirit continues to shine through the colours of the flag and the clothes worn in the rhythm of today's life.

That was the theme of the exhibition held on the morning of August 30 by the Department of Culture and Sports at the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Thua Thien Hue (No.7 Le Loi St., Hue City).

On June 22nd, an impressive assembly of over 150 artifacts, curated from the esteemed collections of 29 antique collectors spanning the North, Central, and South regions of Vietnam, will be showcased at the “Antiques Gathering” exhibition held in the historic Kien Trung Palace, Hue Imperial Citadel.

The artifacts selected for identification are representative items typical of the Nguyen Dynasty's royalty and officials, such as the golden throne, palanquins, ceremonial shoes (things used in daily life and rituals), gold and jade branches (interior decorations), and the Xam Huong set (a recreational activity). This initiative marks the beginning of applying technology to preserve and promote the cultural heritage values preserved in Thua Thien Hue.
