Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum has opened a new exhibition of artefacts from Tay Nguyen (Central Highlands).

The exhibition, which opened on Feb. 5, showcases more than 190 antique objects made of wood, ceramic, terra cotta, elephant leather and bronze made by ethnic groups of the Central Highlands .

Artefacts from different areas can be distinguished by the unique styles that have been handed down for generations. About 120 of them are on loan from Trung Nguyen Coffee Corporation’s giant collection and another 70 selected from the museum’s collection.

There are at least 11 categories of objects that were used in daily home and farm life plus musical instrument used in festivals and worshipping.

Gongs, jars, Kpan table and many other objects the central highlanders used to symbolise health and power are also on display.

Many of the artefacts were donated by artists from Tay Nguyen or cultural scholars.

The exhibition features a dozen wooden funeral statues, which were used for decorating graves in Central Highlands, and a painting collection with 30 works by Xu Man, a famous Tay Nguyen artist./.
