The “Heritage and Memory: Painting from Pieces” is underway at the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History, jointly organized by the museum and the Ho Chi Minh City Antiquities Association to celebrate the 78th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2023) and National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2). 

The exhibition showcases more than 170 artifacts of 27 collectors throughout the country. These artifacts are divided into two groups: Vietnamese ceramics from the Ly, Tran, Le, and Nguyen dynasties spanning from the 11th century to the early 20th century and ceramics made from the 19th century to the early of the 20th century.

Ms. Nguyen Khac Xuan Thi - Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History – told VietNamNet that the exhibition has special meaning for both antique collectors and audiences. The works on display are diverse, containing messages from the past that are fully preserved.

"Artifacts with different designs and origins create a multicultural and colorful picture. Visitors can access traditional values through the artifacts and many interesting related stories," she said.

The exhibition lasts until October 30.
