The exhibition is expected to encourage education about Vietnamese culture and raise public awareness about the importance of protecting traditional cultural values.
The Temple of Literature is hosting a vibrant exhibition called "Trung Thu Vui Ky" or "Joyful Mid-Autumn Stories" until September 21 as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches.

The exhibition features 47 illustrations by emerging Vietnamese and international artists, each offering a unique glimpse into the artist's private world through their interpretations, memories, and stories about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
According to Dr. Le Xuan Kieu, Director of the Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities, the exhibition is intended to amuse visitors during their fall trip to Hanoi.
"This helps spread traditional Vietnamese culture among young people and foreign travelers," he said.
Tet Trung Thu or Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the "Vietnamese Children's Festival", falls in the middle of the eighth lunar month or September 17 this year, but preparations begin well in advance.

A wide range of exciting events are planned during these days to provide meaningful experiences to tourists, locals, and especially children in the capital.
In Vietnamese culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival is among the most important festivals. It is also an opportunity for family members to reunite and spend time together. On this occasion, children will play a lot of fun folk games as well as unleash their imagination and creativity with diverse and meaningful toys such as star lanterns, paper masks, drums, and various toys.
