The exhibited materials are in Han and Nom scripts, Vietnamese and French dating from the 17th century to the outset of the 20th century by Vietnamese feudal states and the French Government in Indochina. They recorded the process of establishing, exercising and defending Vietnam’s sovereignty over the two archipelagos.
The exhibition will run at the Nam Dinh provincial museum until June 26th.
All the exhibits will be presented to the province after the exhibition. Exhibits are expected to be displayed in more districts in the province./.
