The exhibition themed “Exploring the Phung Tien Palace Compound” was organized by Hue Monuments Conservation Center in collaboration with the Fulda Cultural Heritage Conservation Association, Germany (GEKE) on November 20th.

The outdoor exhibition at Phung Tien Palace, Hue Imperial City offered viewers an opportunity to learn about the architecture, spiritual life under the Nguyen Dynasty as well as the cultural, historical and artistic values of this era through virtual reconstruction combined with reality. Also, the QR codes were delicately designed on glass panels lead to 3D scanning data and 3D models, providing a brief "virtual sightseeing tour", arousing visitors' interest.

Located to the north of Trieu Temple, Phung Tien Palace was one of the five important temples under the Nguyen Dynasty. It was built in 1814 - the 13th year of Gia Long’s reign to worship Thua Thien Empress - the wife of Gia Long Emperor. Later, the palace was devoted to worshiping emperors and empresses of the Nguyen Dynasty.

In 1947, this construction was destroyed, leaving only the gates, the surrounding wall system and the guarding screen located at the back of the palace. Since 2017, Phung Tien Palace compound has been restored through a German-Vietnamese cooperation project, aiming to preserve the remaining structures and revive the original shape and functions of the compound.
