The Korea Times reports that Korea has initiated a traditional paper conservation training program for Vietnamese museum experts at the National Museum of History in Hanoi. The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage’s Cultural Heritage Conservation Science Center is conducting the program from October 14 to 22, targeting 14 conservation professionals from Vietnam.
This marks the first time Korea is sharing its expertise in paper conservation with Vietnam. The initiative, part of the Korea Heritage Service's official development assistance programs, focuses on practical, hands-on instruction for conserving paper-based cultural heritage. Since 2013, the center has conducted 15 training sessions in 11 institutions across seven Asian countries, training a total of 279 participants.
Vietnam is the latest country to benefit from this initiative, which aims to strengthen conservation expertise in countries with limited infrastructure for protecting and managing cultural heritage.
