The event is co-hosted by the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre, the museum and the Ho Chi Minh City Antiquities Association. The exhibits span gold and silver items, enamelware, inlaid bronze ware, apparel, ceramics, and wooden artifacts.

The display is built around four themes of royal authority, court rituals and order, craftsmanship and artistic excellence, and the enduring splendor of a golden era. Each piece serves as a historical witness to the dynasty’s power and Vietnamese artisans’ exceptional skill.

Hoang Viet Trung, Director of the centre, said the event is designed to deliver an immersive visual experience and a deeper understanding of the royal heritage of Hue, the capital of the last feudal dynasty in Vietnam (1802–1945).

The centre also just scored a major donation from private collectors. Among the new treasures are a delicate enamel plate, an imperial decree from Emperor Thanh Thai’s reign, a wooden box once used to store royal edicts, and a stack of official memorials from Emperor Duy Tan’s reign tied to the restoration of Nguyen Dynasty architectural works.

These gifts will enrich the museum’s collections and give a big boost to future research, conservation, exhibitions, and the broader effort to celebrate Vietnam’s cultural heritage./.
