The research group selected 52 typical masks out of the total 152 masks under the record of “Tuong Hue masks” to implement the production with diverse and typical criteria of each character. The 52 masks will be made on 2 different kinds of material and sizes to be used for displaying, decoration (big size masks), and for wearing in performances (small size ones). The group selected the masks following the various criteria on characters, personality characteristics, the richness in colors and the harmony in gender and age.

These 52 typical masks which will be used in the seasons of Hue Festival are also the foundation to build up “The space for display and performing the skill of making Tuong Hue masks”, serving the practical, lively and effective promotion.
