At the exhibition, visitors can view the seal of Quoc Su Quan, an agency that
researched and compiled Nguyen dynasty history books, established at the start
of Minh Mang’s reign. In 125 years (1820-1945), this agency compiled many
valuable documents.
Visitors can also view other ancient urns made of porcelain and bronze.
The exhibition attracts many academics and antiquity researchers. Most of these
antiques will be permanently displayed at Ngu Phung Pavilion.
This is the first time Ngu Phung Pavilion, built in 1833, has hosted antiquities
from the Minh Mang era.
Minh Mang inherited the throne in 1820 after the death of Gia Long, the first
emperor of the dynasty.
He is considered a dynamic and assertive king, introducing a series of reforms
from politics to diplomacy, including the prevention of Western influence on
Vietnam.
