Champa ancient artifacts

Champa ancient artifacts showcased in Hanoi

An exhibition featuring 104 ancient artifacts of the Champa culture in the south central coastal province of Binh Dinh opened at the Vietnam History Museum in Hanoi on April 25.

Apart from many ancient pottery vases, bowls and cups, on display are architectural special relievos of a Makara (sea monster) head, Naga snake (Khmer cultural feature) and soldiers. The highlight of the exhibition was the unique artifact of an imperial cart unearthed at the Banh It tower relic in 2002.

According to Dinh Ba Hoa, deputy director of the Binh Dinh Museum, the exhibition offers a good opportunity for the province to introduce its tourism potential to both Vietnamese and foreign visitors.

The event is part of many cultural activities nationwide to mark the 33th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30) and the May Day (May 1).
