The exhibition features a dome made from do (poonah paper), a traditional Vietnamese material, combined with recycled plastic and steel to create a space that is both soft and strong, symbolising the harmony between nature, humanity and technology.

In the olden days, poonah paper (known locally as dó paper) was made primarily for royal documents, altar paintings, and prayer books. Today, the craft of making dó paper is still being preserved by artisans. Join us on a visit to the Muong community in Hoa Binh province with the craft.

The My Son Sanctuary management board has received five collections of ancient Cham script books – related to old rituals or worship ceremonies of the Cham people in central Vietnam – from a local collector, contributing to precious data for the UNESCO-recognised world heritage site.

The art of making poonah paper from the bark of a tree for artwork and votive offerings is being revived in Yen Thai, a village outside Hanoi that made the product for at least 600 years.
