The Ba Ria-Vung Tau Museum has recently opened a special exhibition entitled “Space of Traditional Vietnamese Musical Instruments”, as part of its efforts to introduce and promote the beauty of traditional Vietnamese music to both domestic and international visitors, especially young people.
The exhibition showcases more than 200 traditional instruments such as drums, the two-stringed fiddle, the monochord, and the 16-string zither.
It also includes documents and images, introducing the musical instruments of various Vietnamese ethnic groups, as well as the artisans and artists, who perform with these traditional instruments.
