    The exhibition introduces to the public about 100 typical objects and photos of lime pots, betel boxes, spittoons, etc. in order to present the origin of betel chewing practice in Vietnam and to preserve the beauty of this traditional culture.

    The exhibition has three main topics: the custom of chewing betel and the values of Vietnamese betel and areca culture; the betel chewing custom of some ethnic minorities in Vietnam; and the preservation of the value of betel and areca culture.
