An exhibition on Vietnam, introducing nearly 300 collections of its traditional handicrafts and cultural diversity, will open in Seoul, capital of the Republic of Korea (RoK) on March 10.

The exhibition “Vietnamese traditional handicrafts and culture” will last 2 years – the largest event to date – with the aim of introducing Vietnamese culture to Korean visitors.

In the RoK National Museum Quota, objects will be displayed in three sections. The first section introduces Vietnam’s people, history and geographical location. The second features the initial period of Vietnam’s traditional handicraft, items from the century 7BC to 1BC and beyond. The third section displays handicraft objects made of wood and pottery, marking the golden period of Vietnamese arts and crafts.
