An exhibition featuring ASEAN traditional costumes is being held in Hanoi, which is among activities to mark the fifth anniversary of the ASEAN Community and Vietnam’s Chair of ASEAN in 2020.
The event which was started at the National Historical Museum in Hoan Kiem District will last until October 28
At the exhibition, viewers can enjoy the unique traditional costumes of countries in the region, including the traditional Ngu Than (five-panelled gown) for Vietnamese men, the Raj Pattern costume of Thai men, and the Baju Kurung for women and Baju Melayu for men in Malaysia.
Apart from this, there are images of the landscapes, culture, countries and people of ASEAN, providing visitors with a greater understanding of ASEAN, helping to enhance connectivity and friendly solidarity between countries in the region.
Traditional costumes not only express the beauty of costumes but also honour the cultural traditions of the people of each country in the ASEAN community.
