Hi Anhai, Vinh and all,

Just back from Vietnam after visiting Hanoi and Siagon. I went to the 
History Museum in Hanoi and saw the exibition on historical relics of 
Hanoi. It is small but quite good with a few newly discovered bronze 
drums including the Co Loa drum.

There is no instruments to protect against temperature, humidity, 
thieves, fires.. that i can see. The same things when i visited the 
museums in Saigon. In fact, on the other halls of the History museumm in 
Hanoi, i can see some materials in the state of decay such as maps, 
ancient bones and tools.. Definitely, the museum should take steps to 
protect these historical pieces. Maybe, there is a lack of fund. 

I bought a very good book on the Dong Son civilisation by Ha Van Tan 
printed in 1996 supported by the Toyota Foundation. A hard cover monograph of 
research articles. In Saigon, i also bought a superb book on Oc Eo 
Archeology by Vo Si Khai. This book is also provided by the Toyota 
Foundation. A recommended book on the state of archeology conducted by 
Vietnamese researchers since 1975 to present in the Southern part of the 
country.

Cheers,

Hiep Nguyen
