Students visit national museum in Yangon

A group of 111 students from Basic Education High School No 3 in Thakayta Township, Yangon Re­gion, led by Headmaster U Maung Maung Hla and accompanied by supervis­ing teachers visited the National Museum (Yan­gon) on Pyay Road at 9 am yesterday.

 

During the visit, the students explored galleries featuring the Lion Throne, Myanmar scripts and man­uscripts, the Konbaung period, natural history and Myanmar’s prehistory, Myanmar’s urban culture, royal regalia, Myanmar traditional arts and crafts, ancient ornaments and jew­ellery, Myanmar paintings, Buddhist art, ASEAN coun­tries and ethnic cultures.

 

Officials from the Na­tional Museum (Yangon) provided detailed explana­tions in each gallery, and the students showed keen interest in learning about the exhibits.

 

The visit helped stu­dents gain a better under­standing of Myanmar’s rich historical heritage and the importance of preserving and protecting the coun­try’s traditional cultural heritage.
