The exhibition consists of three sections, including one to introduce the history of Vietnam’s education and examinations through dynasties, one about Quoc Tu Giam, the country’s first university, and the last for the stone stele records.
According to UNESCO, Imperial Archives of the Nguyen Dynasty are administrative archives of the last feudal dynasty of Vietnam and in region which lasted from 1802 to 1945. The collection reflects all aspects of history of Vietnamese society at the time and the diplomatic relations of the Nguyen Dynasty with other countries all over the world. The collection is also the only original administrative records which contains autographs of ten Nguyen Emperors.
The 34,555 plates of woodblocks of the Nguyen Dynasty helped to record official literature and history as well as classic and historical books.
