A video showing the objects in “Arts of Ancient Viet Nam: From River Plain to Open Sea,” narrated by the curator. "This exhibition brings together more than one hundred objects from ten museums across the diverse geographic expanse that is Viet Nam to illuminate the country’s long history of cultural and economic exchange... As long as two thousand years ago, a maritime trade route extended from southern China to Roman-controlled ports in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, via ports in what is now northern Vietnam, Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Iran. As a result of this exchange, Vietnam developed unique art objects with connections to China, India, and other cultures of Southeast Asia… The exhibition focuses on four areas and ports of call: 1) Early Cultures: Dong Son and Sa Huynh; 2) Fu Nan in the Mekong River Delta; 3) Coastal Kingdoms of Champa; 4) Trade and Exchange in Hoi An.” This was a trade in luxury goods, where merchants had to follow the monsoon winds sailing east and west.
