Artifacts donated to Hue Royal Antiquities Museum

HNN.VN - On June 8th, Hue Royal Antiquities Museum held a ceremony to present archival materials to the museum. This activity is part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the establishment of Musée Khai Dinh, currently known as the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum (1923-2023).

Hue Monuments Conservation Centre acknowledges the contribution of the researcher Ho Vinh.

Mr. Ho Vinh, a researcher in Hue City, donated to the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum a copy of the weekly magazine “Indochine (Dong Duong) Photo Journal” published in 1943, which includes an article about Musée Khai Dinh by L. Sogni. This is a valuable document in the study of the museum’s history.

So far in 2023, the Royal Antiquities Museum has received nearly 100 documents and artifacts from organizations and individuals who have a deep love for cultural heritage. These artifacts will be studied and displayed by the museum to serve the public.

Through the turmoil of the war, many objects from Hue Royal Antiquities Museum were lost, damaged, or had missing information. The museum needs the community's collaboration in supplementing and enriching the collection of artifacts, so it can fully reflect the valuable and rich history of this region, especially the importance of the last monarchy in Vietnam.
