“Ancient stones” go Swedish
Update: Jul 23, 2009
An exhibition on an ancient stone site that tourists are advised not to miss if they take a tour of the Sapa in the northern border province of Lao Cai will open in Sweden from September 27-November 8, 2009.

On display will be over 150 replicas of the stones and a large number of photographs of the site, which have been taken by the Hanoi Arts University since 2003.

The exhibits were displayed in Hanoi in 2006 alongside a number of copies of works by famous world painters, which expressed the artist’s ideas of pre-historic ages or contained images that are engraved on the ancient stones in Sapa.

The upcoming event will be held at the Vasterrbotten Museum by the Hanoi Arts University in association with the host country’s Umea Arts Institute to mark the 40th anniversary of Vietnamese-Swedish diplomatic relations.
