VGP – The National Museum of History coordinated with the Thang Long Antique Association and antique collectors to co-organize an exhibition named “Vietnamese antiques” on July 25.
In recent years, many associations of antique collectors have been formed in various localities, which opens a legal playground for those who have compassion for antiques. Their activities also help preserve and promote Vietnam’s cultural values.
