The art program will feature three parts called “Valley of Timeless Stories”, “Legendary My Son Night” and “Radiant Light”, all recreating the beauty of the site through different historical periods. It also will serve as a bridge connecting the past and the present, and honoring the remaining cultural values of the heritage site.

This art program has been upgraded in a shortened way compared to the original version in a bid to give audiences a clear feeling about the formation and development of My Son as well as the ancient Champa kingdom.

Its aim is to honor Cham cultural values, and at the same time, offer freshness and appeal to both audiences and tourists.

Over the past year, the Management Board of the My Son World Cultural Heritage has made every effort to develop many forms of Cham culture and arts such as Cham traditional dances and folk songs, as well as promote the restoration of the traditional pottery-making and brocade weaving crafts, in order to bring diversity and attraction to serve visitors.
