Exhibition " Hai Phong in flow of history through archival documents"
Nearly 150 documents, photographs and documentary films are on display at the exhibition “Hai Phong in the Flow of History through Archival Documents.” The materials hold historical, legal and practical value, offering the public a comprehensive view of Hai Phong’s formation and development.
Collections of Nguyen Dynasty poems carved on woodblocks, along with seals associated with activities of government agencies at various levels before the merger, are among materials being displayed to the public for the first time.
The exhibition consists of three main themes: “Hai Phong - The Port City in the Flow of History,” “Hai Duong - The Tradition-Rich Eastern Region,” and “Hai Phong - A New Role, A New Position.” The event attracted large numbers of residents and visitors. Through the exhibition, visitors gain a broader understanding of the city’s history while raising awareness of the value of archival documents.
