According to Dan Tri reporter, at the exhibition space of Hue Royal Antiquities Museum (under the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, Hue city), many valuable artifacts have been placed in protective glass cabinets by the unit.
Notably, three new Nguyen Dynasty thrones have been installed with glass cages to ensure safety after the incident of the national treasure throne in Thai Hoa Palace, Hue Imperial City, being violated.

One of the three newly installed precious artifacts is the national treasure Emperor Duy Tan's throne, dating from the early 20th century, specially crafted for the king when he ascended the throne at the age of 7.
This throne is smaller in size than many other thrones, but is exquisitely crafted, bearing historical, cultural, and artistic values of the Nguyen Dynasty. At the end of 2024, Emperor Duy Tan's throne was recognized by the Prime Minister as a national treasure along with 3 other sets of artifacts/single artifacts at the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum.

In addition, two gilded wooden thrones crafted during the reign of King Khai Dinh (1916-1925) have also been placed in glass cases for display, serving visitors to visit and learn.
Mr. Ngo Van Minh, Director of the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum, said that except for large artifacts such as the dragon bed and King Bao Dai's palanquin, which cannot be displayed in glass cabinets, most of the treasures and valuable artifacts displayed in the museum have been placed in protective glass cabinets.
The installation of glass cages aims to prevent the risk of damage to artifacts and ensure the safety of Nguyen Dynasty treasures in open display conditions for public viewing.

The Hue Royal Antiquities Museum has also increased its 24/7 security force, upgraded and equipped the camera system, intrusion warning in the exhibition area and warehouse, and organized regular inspections to ensure the safety of the valuable artifacts stored here.
According to records, Hue City Police also sent forces to participate in ensuring security inside the museum's exhibition area.
Previously, at 11:55 a.m. on May 24, Ho Van Phuong Tam bought a ticket to visit the relic, then sneaked in and vandalized the Nguyen Dynasty throne area at Thai Hoa Palace, in the Hue Imperial City (Phu Xuan District, Hue City), damaging artifacts.
Up to now, Hue city authorities have prosecuted the case and temporarily detained defendant Ho Van Phuong Tam for 3 months for the crime of Intentionally damaging property.
Hue City People's Committee has established a Council to assess the status and propose a plan to preserve and restore the national treasure, the Nguyen Dynasty throne.
Currently, the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum is managing and displaying more than 11,000 artifacts; including many national treasures and very rare artifacts.
