From the Land of the Rising Dragon
Magnificent jade sceptres, precious terracotta mythical creatures, gigantic bronze drums. The special exhibition “Treasures of Vietnamese Archaeology” shows these and other spectacular finds in Europa for the very first time. They come from historically significant sites, such as the temple city of My Son in the central Vietnamese jungle and the imperial palace of Thang Long in the capital, Hanoi, both of them UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites. The exhibition attempts for the first time in Germany to provide an overall picture of the historical and cultural riches of this country, this Far Eastern world and its life between the delta of the Red River in the north and the Mekong in the south.
