Publications

Work is currently underway on two publications dealing with the three restoration projects in Vietnam.

A book full of wonderful, atmospheric photographs will present the conservation and restoration of wall and ceiling paintings in the An Dinh Palace, explain the processes involved, document the on-site training of local artists and artisans, and throw light on the historical background.

An audio-slideshow produced to mark thirty-five years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Germany introduces the Federal Foreign Office's Cultural Preservation Programme, as epitomized by three projects: the An Dinh Palace, the tomb of the emperor Tu Duc and the historic village core of Tran Dang.

Both publications will be available by June 2010, also via this web site.
