Culture Ministry finds way to bring home Nguyen Dynasty antiques

According to details given by Labour Newspaper, the MCST sent an official dispatch to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and co-ordinated with the Vietnamese Embassy in France and the Vietnamese Cultural Centre in France to work directly with Paris-based MILLON auction house. They have been working together in an attempt to verify information relating to two Nguyen Dynasty antiques, including their owner, legality, expected selling price, and ability to negotiate direct purchases without auction.

Based on discussions held with the auction house, the Ministry will propose the most suitable plan in order to repatriate the antiques in accordance with the laws of the host country and international practices.

The Ministry stated that if the seal was the ‘Hoang de chi bao (Emperor’s Treasure)’, then it had been used for the country’s public and political activities throughout a historical period and carried significant historical and cultural value.

According to a release published on its website, the French auction house which was founded in 1928, will put 329 antiques up for auction on October 31 (Paris time).

Two among them were said to be from the Nguyen Dynasty which ruled from 1802 to 1945, becoming the last Vietnamese feudal dynasty. They are a golden seal cast dating back to 1823 during the reign of King Minh Mang who ruled from 1820 to 1841, and a golden bowl dating back to the reign of King Khai Dinh who ruled from 1917 to 1925.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
