Vietnam Airlines helps introduce art treasures to the world

Vietnam Airlines' efforts to bring Vietnamese culture to the world have been promoted through a three-month exhibition at Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris.

On display are collections of Champa art (5-15th centuries) from Vietnam's museums and Guimet museum as well as sculptures preserved on the My Son site in central Quang Nam Province.

The principal Champa art styles, which reflect religious concepts oscillating between Buddhism and Brahmanism, are illustrated by a representative collection of stone and bronze sculptures, and a selection of plate and ritual objects made of precious metal, most of which have been displayed for the first time since mid-October in 2005.

The exhibition is scheduled to close on January 9, 2006.
