The event, themed 'Soul of the Earth', is hosted by the Ho Chi Minh Museum in collaboration with Bat Trang Porcelain JSC and the Vietnam Fine Arts Association (VFAA).
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ho Chi Minh Museum Director Vu Manh Ha recalled the late President Ho Chi Minh's visit to the Bat Trang pottery village 65 years ago.
"The Party leader stressed the need to develop the craft village and make it one of the model villages in Vietnam," Ha said.
He added that the exhibition is a community-based activity that helps businesses, craft villages, and artisans to get involved and tell their own stories directly.
The exhibition features more than 300 photos, paintings, ceramic vases, and a series of artistic ceramic works by famous painters and sculptors from VFAA. Typical ceramics and porcelain products from Bat Trang's skilled artisans will also be on display.

"The ceramics on display at the exhibition all have significant historical, cultural, and artistic values, and express love for the late President Ho Chi Minh, the capital city of Hanoi, and the beloved country," Ha said.
They help local and international visitors learn more about Vietnam's traditional cultural values and raise public awareness about the importance of preserving and promoting the nation's cultural and historical heritage.
