On April 18, the Hue Ancient Citadel Relic Preservation Center opened the exhibition "Stories told from ancient books", in response to Hue Festival 2026 - Summer Festival "Shining Citadel" and Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day (April 21).
The exhibition introduces a collection of ancient Nguyen Dynasty documents collected and donated by the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum from many individuals who love heritage.
