Many of the items are considered national treasures, such as a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva that is available for public viewing for the first time. Made of elephant’s tusks, the statue dates back to the 18th-19th centuries.

Another treasure is a Thanh Mai bronze bell that is believed to be made in 798, making it the oldest in Vietnam.

The show has been organised by the Ha Tay Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the UNESCO Club.
