The thematic exhibition aims to strengthen friendship between Vietnam and Korea through cultural exchange, and towards the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries (December 22, 1992 - December 22, 2022).
The exhibition contents focus on two main themes: images of the Baekje Historic Areas & Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tube and experiential activities such as AR/VR experience, animation showing, clothing experience, cooking classes, etc. This is an excellent opportunity for the Vietnamese people in particular and foreign visitors in general to know the outstanding universal value of the UNESCO World Heritage Baekje Historic Areas as well as the Korean culture.
Dr. Nguyen Van Doan highly appreciated the effective cooperation of the Baekje World Heritage Center and expressed his gratitude for their support during the past time and hopefully this exhibition will be an important premise for sustainable cooperation between two sides in the near future.
