Buddhist antiques displayed in first-ever national cultural museum
As many as 500 antiques have been showcased at the Buddhist Cultural Museum in Da Nang for the first time, hoping to fascinate both domestic and foreign tourists.
Situated at Quan The Am Temple in Ngu Hanh Son district of Da Nang, the museum is an attractive destination for tourists who visit the central city’s Ngu Hanh Son (Marble Mountains) special national heritage site.
The museum exhibits hundreds of Buddhism-related objects which date back to the seventh century to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
On display at the museum are hundreds of Buddhist antiques which have been enshrined within the pagoda and have been collected by the pagoda’s former abbots.
The exhibited items feature Buddhist arts and Buddhist culture of both Vietnam and several other Asian countries.
Each of the displayed artifacts carries an array of Buddhist stories, legends, and beliefs. The image depicts a reclining Buddha statue.
The artifacts at the museum are made from numerous different materials such as bronze and jade.
The Buddhist antiques preserved at the Quan The Am Temple have great value as they highlight Buddha statues, bronze censers, and objects of worship, all of which are unique treasures.
Many of these antiques are recognised as national treasures.
The museum has opened its doors since 2016, offering a haven of calm, tranquility, and relaxation to visitors.
