Imperial Archives of the Nguyen Dynasty is a system of administrative documents issued by the Nguyen Dynasty, including documents issued by the emperors and documents submitted by agencies in the administrative system to the emperors for approval in scarlet ink. The cabinet of the Nguyen dynasty was responsible for achieving these documents.
Displayed in an impressive space that combines modern lighting systems and installation art, the exhibition promises an exciting experience for visitors.
The thematic exhibition highlights typical documents such as Imperial records under the reign of King Minh Mang in 1838, announcing the adoption of the country's name as Dai Nam; the Imperial records approved by King Tu Duc in 1859; and some records themed Lunar New Year rituals enacted by King Thanh Thai (1879-1954); and others.
