For the first time,
archaeological artifacts founded at No.
18 Hoàng Diệu Street, Ba Đình District, Hà Nội, was
opened to the public.
The artifacts prove a
1000-year history of Thăng Long-Hà Nội through successive feudal dynasties.
The exhibition is one of
cultural activities to celebrate the 1000th birthday of the capital
city.
Experiencing over a
millennium, the Thăng Long Imperial Citadel, as the core of the capital city of
Việt Nam, is really a concentration of original
human and artistic values, sculpture, architectural and building styles, and urban
planning techniques.
The Citadel’s vestige
complex was recognized as a World Heritage on October 1.
