walking by Hanoi Ceramic Mosaic Mural, Hanoi, Vietnam

view map

The mosaic wall is made from ceramic tesserae which are product of Bát Tràng, a village famous for its Bát Tràng porcelain.[1]

The content of the mosaic represents the decorative pattern from different periods in the history of Vietnam: Phùng Nguyên culture; Đông Sơn culture; Lư Dynasty; Trần Dynasty; Lê Dynasty and Nguyễn Dynasty. Also incorporated on the wall are modern art works, paintings of Hanoi and children's drawings.[1]

Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy said the project will strive to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's largest ceramic mosaic by 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanoi_Ceramic_Mosaic_Mural.
