An array of archaeological objects found in Thang Long Imperial Citadel
since 2010 are being displayed in an exhibition that opened in Hanoi on
October 1.
Organised by the Thang Long-Hanoi Heritage
Conservation Centre, the event is part of a series of activities to
celebrate the 60 th anniversary of the capital’s Liberation Day
(October 10).
The exhibits include a dragon head-shaped statue belonging to the Tran Dynasty and seals, and ancient decorations.
The event offers the public the chance to look closely at the power
symbols of Vietnam’s past dynasties, including Ly, Tran, Le So, Mac, Le,
Le Trung Hung and Nguyen.
It also helps visitors learn more about the global value of the Royal Citadel heritage site.
In
addition to the archaeological findings, 200 photographs and documents
on the construction and history of the citadel are on display, as well
as information on current research and preservation projects.
On the same day, an art exhibition was launched in Hanoi by the
municipal Fine Arts Association together with the International Fine
Arts Exchange Association of Busan in the Republic of Korea (RoK).
The
art collection displays 104 pieces by Vietnamese and RoK artists,
including paintings, prints and sculptures, depicting the two countries’
landscapes, cultures and people.-VNA
