Hanoi Museum offers free admission in first days of Lunar New Year
VOV.VN - In the first days of the new year, Hanoi Museum on Pham Hung Street has become a popular cultural destination, drawing residents and tourists with a range of activities, modern exhibition spaces and a free-admission policy in effect through March 2.
After an extended period devoted to collecting documents and artefacts, the museum has officially launched its permanent exhibition, presenting more than 7,000 documents and objects, including six national treasures and groups of national treasures.
The exhibition is organised into seven main themes- Nature; Journey to Thang Long; Thang Long from the 11th to the 18th centuries; Hanoi in the 19th and 20th centuries; the resistance war against French colonialism and the war against American imperialism; Building Socialism; and Hanoi Toward the Future - along with 35 sub-themes.
Commenting on the museum’s highlights following its reopening, Nguyen Tien Da, Director of Hanoi Museum, said the permanent exhibition is structured around seven major themes and 35 sub-themes, displaying nearly 7,000 documents and artefacts. The exhibition is supported by 14 Mante Media information screens providing extensive digital content, which will continue to be updated to offer a more comprehensive account of Thang Long–Hanoi’s history.
The museum has also developed three experiential spaces, including a pilot exhibition on the fourth floor dedicated to martyr and doctor Dang Thuy Tram, designed to highlight stories of revolutionary ideals and sacrifice. Another area focuses on the 12-day-and-night victory known as the “Dien Bien Phu in the Air” campaign, featuring an upgraded sound system to enhance the visitor experience.
Alongside its permanent galleries, the museum regularly hosts interactive experience rooms, thematic exhibitions, seminars, art installations and cultural events, attracting young people and families with children.
With systematic investment in both content and presentation, combining traditional values with modern technology, the museum is reshaping the heritage space in the heart of the capital and establishing itself as a notable cultural destination at the start of spring, contributing to the promotion of pride in Hanoi’s millennium-old cultural heritage.
