This exhibition highlights the role of pottery in traditional architecture, beliefs and religion, along with its contribution to home decoration and furniture for Vietnamese people from ancient times to modernity. The theme beautifully illustrates Vietnam’s pottery culture and its evolution over thousands of years.

Vietnamese pottery has a history dating back approximately 8,000 years. Initially characterized by simple designs and limited utility, pottery soon transformed into various forms, evolving from everyday items to decorative materials and household furniture. This evolution has given rise to numerous pottery villages across the country, many of which continue to thrive and produce pottery on a daily basis, preserving this integral aspect of Vietnam's cultural heritage.
