Hue is gradually undertaking the inventory, research and development of a database of its Buddhist woodblocks, with the aim of completing a nomination dossier for UNESCO recognition of Hue Buddhist woodblocks as documentary heritage. This process must go hand in hand with practical conservation measures to safeguard these valuable historical sources for generations to come and promote the cultural and historical values preserved in each carved block.

“Hue Buddhist cultural heritage” is the theme of an exhibition organized by the Executive Board and the Cultural Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha in Hue City to celebrate the Vesak Day 2025.
