Admire more than 500 antiques at the exhibition — Ribbon cutting to open the exhibition

Introducing a collection of more than 500 antiques of members and collectors in Hanoi, the exhibition "Red River Civilization to Hanoi Street" is organized with the desire to spread the love of ancient Vietnamese pottery in particular and the nation's quintessential antiques in general.

Before the 1990s, collectors often emphasized collecting and owning foreign porcelain and wooden items. Now, in the new collection trend, Vietnamese cultural elements are always emphasized by collectors in their collections.

The exhibition is an opportunity for the public and researchers to admire, learn and have a clearer view of culture, art and diversity in expression through the patterns of the artifacts displayed at the exhibition.

At the same time, the exhibition is also an opportunity to spread humanistic values that have been preserved over many centuries, rekindling the source of traditional national culture.
