Vietnamese ceramics go on show in Republic of Korea

The event spans a total area of 680 square metres in the Asian section of the site.

On display are 73 Vietnamese ceramic products which range in age from 3,500 to 3,000 years old up to the 19th century.

Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the items are to be transported by air for the first time in their history. The Gwangju National Museum is responsible for receiving and transporting them upon their arrival at the airport in the RoK.

The exhibition is scheduled to last for two years through to October 31, 2022.

International visitors viewing the items will be given the chance to learn more about Asian ceramics, including the process of formation and development of Vietnamese ceramics.
