The event has been co-organised by the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports and the Ho Chi Minh Museum.

The event is just one of a number of cultural activities being held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the capital’s recognition as a “City for Peace” by UNESCO.

The exhibition features three main parts, including “Hanoi and a thousand years of civilization”, “President Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi’s culture”, and “Hanoi learns from President Ho Chi Minh's thoughts, morality and lifestyle”.

In “Hanoi and a thousand years of civilization”, the first part of the exhibition, visitors have the chance to discover some of the traditional culture and cuisine enjoyed by local Hanoians.
