Photo exhibition on My Son opens in France

A photo exhibition themed, “My Son, a thousand years of culture” by French photographer Xavier Nory is open to visitors in Paris from October 30 - November 15.

With 79 photos on show, Xavier Nory wants to depict the unique beauty of the old tower sculptures at My Son, which was discovered in 1898 by Frenchman M.C Paris.

It is the most grandiose and specific religious vestige of the Champa people who built the complex more than 1, 000 years ago.

In December, 1999 along with the old city of Hoi An, the tower and temple at My Son were recognised as world cultural heritages by UNESCO.
