The exhibition introduces more than 100 photos with more than 300 images and documents of all kinds, including all the royal decrees kept at village communal houses, ancient land registers kept at private homes and hundreds of horizontal lacquered boards, parallel sentences, and steles at pagodas, shrines, private homes, and tombs in the province.

The exhibition is divided into two main parts. The royal decrees and land registers section displays royal decrees of the feudal court during the reign of King Tu Duc, Duy Tan, and Bao Dai conferred upon deities at village communal houses in the province that the subject has approached and collected; royal decrees conferred upon those who have contributed to the Nguyen Dynasty, which are still preserved in private homes in Gia Lai such as the Nguyen, Tran, Van, and To families, along with some land purchase and sale documents preserved by private homes that have long settled in Gia Lai in the An Khe area (the Nguyen and To families in Cuu An, the Le family in Tu Thuy, the Van family in Tan Lai...).

Along with that, the Han Nom script section in the living spaces displays images of Han Nom script on various types of objects such as horizontal lacquered boards, parallel sentences, worshiping documents, antiques, tombstones, etc. in the spaces of communal houses, temples, pagodas, private homes, and mausoleums.

The exhibition is an important content of the provincial-level topic "Preserving and promoting the value of Han-Nom heritage in Gia Lai province" proposed by the Provincial Museum and assigned by the Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee as the host agency. This is a specific, vivid and unique method of the museum, helping the public access the heritage effectively, especially for the type of Han-Nom documentary heritage that is hidden in folklore.

As planned, the exhibition “Han-Nom Heritage in Gia Lai Province” in Ayun Pa Ward will take place for 3 days (from August 27 to 29) with the expectation of helping people inside and outside the locality to better understand the history and culture of Gia Lai through Han-Nom documentary heritage in the province.
