Exhibition on Nguyen Dynasty gold books opens in Hanoi
The collection of 22 gold books and a dozen royal objects of the Nguyen Dynasty are being displayed at the Vietnam National Museum of History, No1 Pham Ngu Lao street in Hanoi.
An exhibition on gold books and other royal gold objects of the Nguyen Dynasty was held at the Vietnam National Museum of History in Hanoi from March 31.
The collection of 22 gold books and ten royal objects of the Nguyen Dynasty, as well as 94 gold books of the 13 Nguyen Kings are on display at the museum.
The books of the Nguyen Dynasty, made of such precious metals as gold or silver, were used to record significant royal events and rituals, such as coronation, enthronement, among others. They were compiled by the kings or high-level courtiers themselves.
Experts said the dynasty’s first gold book, measuring 24.5 cm and 13.5 cm was made at the order of King Gia Long for his father in 1806.
The show will run through August.
The exhibition attracts numerous visitors.
