The exhibition is being held on the occasion of the king's 200th death
anniversary, and will last until the end of August.
The royal seal, which is made of ceramic and coated with gold, was used
by Emperor Gia Long to stamp documents and directives.
The exhibition displays different types of bricks that Gia Long chose to build
the Hue Citadel and his tomb.
Located at the Hue Citadel in the centre of Hue, the Hue Museum of Royal
Antiquities was established in 1923 and originally named Musée Khai Dinh (Kha
Dinh Museum), one of the first museums in Vietnam.
