The exhibition is part of the event series “Journey through the colors of intangible cultural heritage representing regions and areas”, which opened on the morning of March 28 in Bac Ninh Province, on the occasion of the Ceremony to receive the UNESCO’s Certificate recognising the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son, Kiep Bac relic and landscape complex as a World cultural heritage site.

According to leaders of Hue City Museum of History, the exhibition offers the public and international friends with a comprehensive and systematic overview of Hue City’s world cultural heritage and regional heritage recognized by UNESCO, as well as the city’s incredibly diverse and rich system of national intangible cultural heritage.

It thereby contributes to defining Vietnam’s identity in general, and Hue’s culture in particular on the world cultural map.
