The thematic exhibition "Buddhist Imprints on Antiquities" is organized with the participation of collectors and antique researchers from Ho Chi Minh City and Quang Ngai, who have dedicated their efforts to providing the public with an opportunity to admire and gain a deeper understanding of Buddhist art through the displayed artifacts. The exhibition features a total of 80 artifacts, including various forms such as pottery, ceramics, wood sculptures, jade, and sandstone. These artworks not only represent Vietnamese Buddhist culture but also reflect the Buddhist traditions of other countries like India, China, and Japan.

The opening ceremony was honored to welcome many distinguished guests, including cultural researchers, experts in antiques and Buddhism, as well as representatives from heritage preservation organizations. The presence of these esteemed guests not only demonstrated a deep interest in Buddhist cultural heritage but also made a significant contribution to the success of the exhibition.

The purpose of the exhibition "Buddhist Imprints on Antiquities" is to help visitors appreciate the cultural, historical, and religious values of these Buddhist artifacts, thereby raising awareness about the importance of preserving and promoting Buddhist cultural heritage. The artifacts are displayed in a scientific manner, organized by material, form, and date.

Additionally, each artifact is clearly labeled with its provenance and ownership and includes descriptions in both Vietnamese and English, making it easier for visitors to access and understand the details of each piece.

The Museum of Nguyen Dynasty Commissioned Porcelains plays a central role in organizing and hosting this exhibition. The collaboration between the museum and the collectors has created a rich display space that not only attracts enthusiasts of Buddhist art but also serves as a venue for those interested in cultural heritage to explore and appreciate.

The exhibition "Buddhist Imprints on Antiquities" will be open to the public and visitors until the end of March 2025.
