The exhibits, selected from over 400 documents and objects collected by the Museum and donated by organisations and individuals in 2015 and 2016, feature pottery and architecture from feudal dynasties and Long Bien Bridge, among others.
The exhibits are arranged into two groups: those collected by the museum’s staff over the past two years and those presented by donors during that time.
A wide variety of objects are on display, including ceramics, decorative objects found at sites left by feudal dynasties and objects unearthed at excavation sites in Hanoi.
The objects were presented by individuals and organisations on the occasion of the 62nd anniversary of the capital’s liberation (1954-2016).
Painter Phung Di Thuan from Hanoi, donated three paintings namely “Se tro ve giai phong thu do” (Will return to liberate the capital), “Nguoi quyet tu quan” (A soldier willing to devote his life for the capital), “Hanoi mua dong nam 1946” (Hanoi in 1946 winter).
The artist said that the three pieces depict his admiration for Hanoi’s soldiers and his confidence in victory against the foreign invaders.
Colonel Tran Van presented dozens of objects related to the Bat Sat intelligence team which comprised of teenagers aged from 12-16 and operated in French-occupied Hanoi from late 1946 to 1948. Tran Van himself used to be a member of the team.
Nguyen Thi Tho from Hanoi donated a steel comb made from a piece of debris of a F4 fighter plane.
Director of the Hanoi Museum Nguyen Tien Da said the exhibits will contribute to promoting understanding of national traditions.
