Traditional Tet space recreated through social science research materials

An exhibition jointly organised by the Viet Nam Museum of Ethnology and the Institute of Sino-Nom Studies has recreated a traditional Tet (Lunar New Year Festival) space rich in national identity through a system of artefacts, archival materials, folk paintings, traditional costumes, calligraphy and interactive activities, attracting significant public interest during the first days of the Lunar New Year.

Professor Dr Le Van Loi, President of the Viet Nam Academy of Social Sciences, writes New Year wishes at the display area featuring the ‘cay neu’ (neu pole) – a traditional Vietnamese symbol representing hopes for a peaceful and auspicious year ahead.
