The “Champa-Binh Dinh impression” exhibition has been taking place at Vietnam History Museum, Ha Noi. With 104 items, including ceramics and stone sculptures, it seemed that the exhibition still can’t show all unique features of Champa culture in Binh Dinh.
Located in a very convenient position in the museum, the exhibition has attracted many visitors when they came here to visit the museum. Most of them spent much time in front of the Sarasvati goddess relievo.
The French researcher Ph. Stern highly appreciated the Champa architecture in Binh Dinh when doing a study on Champa architectural works in the central region. There are 14 Champa towers in Binh Dinh, including great and unique towers such as Duong Long or Banh It towers.
Also, many were interested in Go Sanh potteries even though they haven’t been well known. Only researchers and antique pottery collectors know their existence.
Go Sanh potteries has appeared since XI-XV centuries. The discoveries about this type of pottery attracted a great concern from Champa culture researchers. They have been exhibited at many museums worldwide.
Many visitors were also surprised when knowing that there are still much more beautiful items displayed at a private museum in Quy Nhon City.
Visitors would be more attracted to the exhibition if related information was provided through leaflets. The Sarasvati relievo was, for example, petitioned to be recognised as a national treasure.
Binh Dinh was once one of centers of Champa culture. It also has other vestiges such as pottery-kilns and citadels.
The exhibition plans to last by September this year and it is expected to be successful in the capital.
