"Emperor Minh Mang’s art of rulership – evidence from the Imperial Archives of the Nguyen Dynasty" is the theme of an exhibition organized by Hue Monuments Conservation Center in collaboration with the National Archives Center I. The exhibition just opened on the afternoon of June 9 at Thiệu Phương royal garden, inside the Imperial Citadel.
