Hanoi: Located in the heart of Moscow, the State Museum of Oriental Art is not only a repository of the artistic treasures of Asia but also a unique cultural space where the essence of Vietnamese culture is preserved and introduced to the Russian public. Among its rich collections, the Vietnamese gallery stands out as a vivid testament to the country's history, culture, and craftsmanship, helping promote Vietnam's cultural identity to Russian and international visitors. According to Vietnam News Agency, the museum was established on October 30, 1918, and began building its Vietnam collection in the early 1970s, when relations between Vietnam and the former Soviet Union flourished. Since then, hundreds of artefacts representing different periods of Vietnamese history have been added through cultural exchanges, creating one of the most comprehensive collections of Vietnamese art in Russia.
