Place to preserve antiques of Nguyen Dynasty palace

(Dan Tri) - After hundreds of years of history, the antiques of the Nguyen Dynasty kings are still preserved intact at the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum.

The Hue Royal Antiquities Museum is located on Le Truc Street, Hue City. This is where thousands of gold, porcelain, ceramic, and Hue enamel artifacts from the Nguyen Dynasty are preserved and displayed.

Dien Long An - the main exhibition hall of the Museum has the architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty royal court. The building belongs to the Bao Dinh Palace architectural system, built in 1845 under the reign of King Thieu Tri, located on the north bank of Ngu Ha River in the Imperial City.

This was a kind of "separate palace" of King Thieu Tri, where the king rested after the Tich Dien (plowing) ceremony in the early spring in the nearby fields. The palace was also where the king came to enjoy the scenery and entertain himself whenever he left the Imperial City.

Long An Palace is a wooden building with 128 precious wooden pillars, on which are carved the four sacred animals and more than 1,000 poems in Chinese characters. This was once considered one of the most beautiful royal architecture buildings in Vietnam.

The royal hat of a first-rank mandarin of the Nguyen Dynasty, dating from the late 19th - early 20th century, is one of the artifacts successfully auctioned by a group and donated to Thua Thien Hue province last April.

Most of the antiques from the Nguyen Dynasty are carved with sophisticated motifs such as birds and flowers.

The Nhat Binh Ao Dai of the Nguyen Dynasty's concubines was a type of shirt with a split collar in the middle, a large collar forming a rectangular shape to decorate the chest.

Women's costumes in the Nguyen Dynasty were very diverse in style, rich with delicate motifs. Depending on the nature of each event and the status of the wearer, there were different types of costumes in terms of name, color, decoration style and manufacturing technique.

With a large number of artifacts displayed at the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum, visitors have an overview of the history of the last feudal dynasty in Vietnam.

Annamese technical books are also on display at the museum. These books combine descriptions and illustrations of the occupations, activities and beliefs of the people in the Northern region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Hue Royal Antiquities Museum is an important relic located in the Complex of Hue Monuments, recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage in 1993. This relic was also ranked at the national level in 1997.
