Taking place until September 15, 2024, the thematic exhibition "A glimpse of heritage" at Hoa Lo Prison relic (Hanoi) introduces to visitors documents and images of 25 historical and cultural relics, revolutionary resistance relics and event memorial sites of Hanoi.
On July 1, the Hoa Lo Prison Relic Management Board launched the thematic exhibition “A glimpse of heritage”, introducing documents and images of 25 historical and cultural relics, revolutionary relics and event memorial sites in Hanoi. The exhibition contributes to recalling the heroic sacrifices of generations of cadres, soldiers and people who fought for the independence and freedom of the nation and built Hanoi - “Heroic Capital”, “City for Peace”.
At the exhibition space, visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the history of familiar locations such as: Opera House, August Revolution Square, Ba Dinh Square, Hoa Lo Prison, Hanoi Flag Tower, Dong Xuan Market, Long Bien Bridge, Bach Mai Hospital... The exhibition space is a combination of soft, curvy details, creating a seamless image of the heritage road. The design harmoniously combines two main colors: blue and yellow; in which blue symbolizes the present, hope, creativity; yellow symbolizes the past, history.
In particular, Hoa Lo Prison (Hanoi Central Prison) is also an important historical witness in the capital before becoming a unique tourist destination as it is today. This relic was built by the French colonial government in 1896 - 1899 to detain Vietnamese patriots and revolutionaries. In 1946, when they returned to invade, the French colonialists reoccupied Hoa Lo Prison. In 1954, the Vietnam People's Army took over this place. During the period 1964 - 1973, the prison was used to detain American pilots captured when bombing northern Vietnam. In 1997, the remaining part (2,434m2) of the prison was ranked as a national historical relic. Currently, Hoa Lo Prison Relic is a place to educate the Vietnamese people about the tradition of patriotism and revolution, an attractive tourist destination for domestic and foreign tourists.
The exhibition space also introduces many historical relics in Hanoi associated with notable figures and events such as: house number 90 Jean Soler Street (now Tho Nhuom Street), the workplace of the Provisional Party Central Committee and where comrade Tran Phu wrote the draft of the Party's Political Platform in 1930; house number 5D on Doudart de Lagrée Street (now Ham Long Street), where the first Communist Party cell in Vietnam was established in 1929; Hanoi branch of the Indochina Bank on Courbet Street (now Ly Thai To Street), where General Secretary Nguyen Van Cu wrote the work "Self-criticism" in July 1939.
The thematic exhibition "A glimpse of heritage" is expected to take place until September 15, 2024 at Hoa Lo Prison relic (No. 1 Hoa Lo Street, Tran Hung Dao Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi).
