In the smac, vietnamese cultural history from 30.000 b.p. until the 20th century in the area of conflict between India and China is presented. On show are some 350 outstanding archaeological and historical objects of Vietnamese history. These include scepters made of stone, mythical creatures made of Terracotta and drums made of bronze. Furthermore, the exhibition presents finds from historically important places like the Hindu temple city My Son and the imperial palace Thang Long (“Rising dragon”) in Hanoi. These places all have the rank of an UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. All finds presented come from excavations of the past 60 years and for the largest part are exhibited for the first time in Europe. This applies in particular to the boat grave from Viet Khe (ca. 300 B.C- 100 AD) which ranks to the National Treasures of Vietnam.
Patron of the exhibition in Germany is Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, former Federal Foreign Minister (until spring 2017).
