This exhibition will display collections of ceramic and stone-made antiques of the Ly and Tran dynasties, which were excavated at the Thang Long royal citadel.
The event will be held at the Da Lat Museum from January 15 to February 5, 2010, entitled “Thang Long royal citadel’s antiques of the Ly and Tran dynasties”.
Da Lat Museum was the villa of Nguyen Huu Hao, father of Queen Nam Phuong, the wife of Vietnam’s last King Bao Dai.
The museum has over 15,000 objects, including the first legal documents after Dr Yersin discovered the Lang Biang plateau, now Da Lat, in the late 19th century.
The most outstanding objects at this museum are antiques of the Phu My and Cat Tien relics, stone-made musical instruments, Linga-Yoni, statues of Brahman gods and ancient scripts.
The museum also showcases the largest tomb excavated in Vietnam in 1983. Called Dai Lang, it contains many objects made of various materials, from iron to bronze.
Objects of ethnic minority groups in the Central Highlands like Ma, Kho, Churu are also displayed in the Da Lat Museum.
