An exhibition displaying 100 antiques with some dating back to the first century will open in Hanoi from February 11 till March 10 for antique lovers as a stop for their city sight-seeing tour during Tet holiday.
The display will lift the curtain on various activities of Hanoian antiques collectors towards the grand celebrations of the 1000th Thang Long-Hanoi birthday, said Dao Phan Long, Chairman of the Thang Long-Hanoi Pottery and Antiquities Researchers and Collectors.
The items on show, collected and preserved by 14 private collectors in Hanoi, were made of all materials like wood, bronze and pottery.
Artefacts of 2,000-2,500 years of age such as bronze drums, cylindrical jars, soup ladles and animal-shaped lamps will give visitors a look into Vietnam’s ancient culture of Dong Son several thousands of years ago.

Asides from Vietnamese artefacts, the exhibition also saves a space for antiquities of Chinese and Champa cultures which were collected by Hanoians.
All the displayed items have been certified as authentic by leading specialists.
