An exhibition will open in Sweden from Sept. 27-Nov. 8, featuring an ancient stone site that tourists are advised not to miss if they take a tour of the superb Sapa mountain resort in the northern border province of Lao Cai.

On display will be over 150 replicas of the stones and a large number of photographs of the site, taken by the Hanoi Arts University since 2003.

The exhibits were displayed in Hanoi in 2006 alongside a number of copies of works by famous world painters, expressing the artist’s ideas of pre-historic ages or contained images that are engraved on the ancient stones in Sapa.

The upcoming event will be held at the Vasterrbotten Museum by the Hanoi Arts University in association with the host country’s Umea Arts Institute to mark the 40th anniversary of Vietnamese-Swedish diplomatic relations.
