Seventy-three unique ceramic artefacts, dating from 3,500 – 3,000 years BP to the 19th century, were arranged in an exhibition space of nearly 680 square metres.

The exhibits, with a diverse and plentiful range items such as pots, jars and incense burners, have been collected and conserved by the Vietnam National Museum of History.

The exhibition is expected to become an opportunity for international friends in the ROK to have a comprehensive view of the formation and development of Vietnamese ceramic industry.

According to the National Museum of History, due to the complicated development of COVID-19 pandemic in the world and Vietnam, the two museums’ leaders agreed on the plan to deliver the artefacts in an online format.
