Gia Long was the first king (reign 1802- 1820) of the Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam’s last royal family (1802-1945).
The exhibition is being held on the occasion of the king's 200th death anniversary, and will last until the end of August.
The royal seal, which is made of ceramic and coated with gold, was used by Emperor Gia Long to stamp documents and directives.
