via Vietnam Plus, 08 May 2024: The Nine Dynastic Urns, significant artifacts from the Nguyen Dynasty, have been inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. Located in the To Mieu Temple within the Hue Imperial Citadel, these bronze urns symbolize the unity and enduring legacy of Vietnam’s last feudal dynasty. Crafted between 1835 and 1837, the urns are adorned with detailed engravings that serve as both artistic masterpieces and historical documents of 19th-century Vietnam.
The Nine Dynastic Urns, housed in the Hue Imperial Citadel in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue, have been inscribed in the Memory of the World Register.
