About the Event:

In collaboration with cultural experts Dr. Loc Nguyen, founder of Nam Ngoc Hien, and Ms. Quan Lam of Vietnam Centre, we are proud to present a unique exhibition at this prestigious institution located across from The White House. The event will feature:

  • A Traditional Spring Tết Altar & Feast: Experience a beautifully renderedTết altar and feast set up in an elegant state room, offering a glimpse into Vietnamese New Year traditions.
  • Educational Materials: Printed and digital materials, expertly written and designed, will allow visitors to learn about Vietnam’s New Year rituals and cultural practices. These materials are created by Ms. Quan Lam, a cultural expert from Vietnam Centre, ensuring accuracy and reflecting current practice in Vietnam.
  • Unique Cultural Insights: All materials and exhibits have been carefully sourced and shipped directly from Vietnam, ensuring thoughtfulness and immediacy.

Why Vietnam Society’s Tết Exhibition is Special:

This year, Vietnam has its own dedicated room in the broader exhibit on New Year’s celebrations around the world. This exhibition was requested due to our stunning presentation in 2024, where we displayed three different Tết altars and offered in-depth educational resources. As a result, Vietnam Society’s Tết exhibit will be featured at DAR Museum from December to February, with thousands of visitors from around the world coming to experience the beauty and significance of our cultural traditions.
