Vietnamese historical artefacts displayed at the exhibition

It is one of the most successful exhibitions of the museum, said the museum director Josef Muhlenbrock.

The event, held from October 7, 2016 – February 26, 2017, had a significant meaning at a time when the two countries celebrated five years of their strategic partnership, he added.

About 400 historical artefacts classified into three categories – Prehistory, My Son Sanctuary (a temple complex in central Vietnam) and Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi were on display at the exhibition.

It helped visitors gain deeper insight into Vietnamese unique culture and history, thus strengthening mutual understanding and connectivity between the two countries.

After being showcased at the LWL museum, these Vietnamese treasures will continue to be on show at two museums in Sachsen State from March 3 – August 20, 2017 and in Baden – Wurttemberg state from September 16, 2017 – January 7, 2018.
