US museums to exhibit Vietnamese antiques
Under permission of the
Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism, the Cultural Heritage Department will
send 114 Vietnamese antiques to the U.S for public display, it was announced
recently.
The exhibits include Hindu and Buddhist sculptures, and ritual and ornamental
works made of terracotta, pottery, stone and jade.
The objects are on loan from ten leading museums in Vietnam, including the
National Museum of Vietnamese History in Hanoi and the Museum of Vietnamese
History, Ho Chi Minh City, which is providing Cham and Sa Huynh cultural
artifacts.
The works have never been exhibited in the United States and many have never
traveled outside of the country.
The display titled ‘Arts of Ancient Vietnam: From River Plain to Open Sea" will
premiere in Houston on September 13, 2009 and will remain on view at the Museum
of Fine Arts, Houston, through January 3, 2010.
The exhibition will be presented at Asia Society in New York from February 2
through May 2, 2010.
