An exhibition about the ancient carved rock field in Sapa, the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai, Vietnam will take place at the Vasterrbotten Museum in Sweden from September 27 to November 8.

The Hanoi Art University have made surveys and produced 150 large-sized photos about the ancient rock field in Sapa since 2003. In 2006, the “Sapa ancient rock field” exhibition was held in Hanoi, using these materials and some artworks by foreign painters, which have close connection to the ancient figures carved on Sapa ancient rocks.

The Hanoi Art University’s materials will be displayed at the exhibition in Sweden.
