Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, said that these are antiques and artifacts crafted under the Nguyen Dynasty, used in the royal court and among the people, crafted by the royal court's statues and made by domestic production establishments (such as Cay Mai pottery, wooden furniture, etc.) or ordered and purchased from abroad for use in the royal palace and among the people (some enamelware, porcelain, etc.) .

“With the theme “Antiques Convergence”, the exhibition aims to create activities related to traditional hobbies that have existed for a long time, while creating new experiences for people and tourists in the heritage space. It creates opportunities for domestic antique collectors to exchange experiences in collecting antiques – a job that requires players not only to come from a passion and cherish heritage but also to have financial resources and cross-cultural knowledge to be able to pursue their passion”, said Mr. Trung.
