Korean culture on display in Hanoi

The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in collaboration with the Korean Culture Heritage Foundation is displaying handmade works from Korea to give Vietnamese people an insight into some of the traditional cultural features of Korean people.
The event is also sponsored by the ministry of tourism of the Republic of Korea, the management department of Korean Cultural Heritage and Korean Cultural Center in Vietnam.
The event called ‘The Hopes and Wishes’ features around 100 handicraft products including dresses, shirts, hats, towels, stockings and decorative items, filled with the value of intangible cultural heritage which the event aims to introduce.
The items are typically used on important occasions such as birthdays and weddings to express wishes of health, wealth, happiness and luck such as the costume of a kid on his first birthday or a veil for a bride.
The event runs until September 13.
