Absolute safety protection for treasures

According to the introduction, if someone approaches the throne area, the alarm system will be activated and immediately sound a warning sound.

In addition, it is expected that a glass “fence” will be erected around the site. This move is initially considered a proactive and positive move by the Center in urgently researching and developing a special protection plan for the national treasure.

However, in this pilot plan, there have been some problems, if not unacceptable ones, because the alarm system includes a fairly large camera, many "sub" cameras, and signal lights installed in one location on the ceiling of Thai Hoa Palace.

Any visitor can see this alarm system and surveillance camera because it is too "obvious", not to mention that doing so has somewhat affected the originality of the ceiling, significantly affecting the aesthetics of the heritage, and has not been permitted by the competent authority. Currently, the pilot alarm system at Thai Hoa Palace has been removed and more suitable options are being studied.

The above citation shows that researching, applying, and implementing plans and measures to absolutely protect national treasures is not an easy or simple matter. In fact, many relic and museum management units are quite confused by the requirement to "develop and implement special protection plans for national treasures", or "national treasures must be subject to special regimes", because they believe that up to now they have not really understood thoroughly what special protection and absolutely safe protection are.

In reality, many localities have not paid attention to investing funds to research and develop special protection plans to ensure absolute safety for national treasures. In addition, the number of people with qualifications and expertise in preserving and protecting treasures is still quite small, so they are not capable of playing the role of consultants and critics of special protection and preservation plans.

A museum official in the North Central region frankly said, “Up to now, we still do not fully understand both theoretically and practically the special preservation and protection regime for national treasures, so the unit has only applied some measures above the normal level such as ensuring light, dehumidifiers, maintaining stable temperature...”.

Recently, the People's Committee of Hue City has sent a document reporting on the review and assessment of the current status of display, preservation, protection and measures to ensure security and safety for national treasures to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, including proposing to the Ministry to open specialized training courses, organize professional training for museum staff, and at the same time direct the Department of Cultural Heritage and leading museums to guide the development of plans to absolutely protect the safety of national treasures...

This is really a matter of great concern, so it is necessary to have specific instructions from competent authorities, at the same time need the participation of leading experts and researchers in the preservation and protection of artifacts and treasures, in which attention should be paid to large-scale treasures; treasures made of different materials. With this guidance, localities will base on research to develop their own plans to ensure absolute safety for national treasures.
