The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a workshop to review a
regulation handed down five months ago that bans foreign-style symbols,
sculptures and worship objects unsuitable for Vietnamese culture.
In the near future, foreign-style stone lions with fierce looks, large
paws and sharp teeth are expected to be removed from relics, pagodas and
temples throughout the country.
The fifth National Sculpture Exhibition that opened yesterday in Ha Noi
explains why Vietnamese sculpture is joining the flow of regional and
international fine art.
