About 100 documents and images about the history of Thang Long-Hanoi will be displayed at a photo exhibition themed “Independence” at the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long to celebrate the 75th anniversaries of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2020) and the National Day (September 2).

The exhibition is divided in three thematic areas: Aspiration for National Independence, Independence Day, Spreading Aspiration for Independence.

From the 10th century to the 20th century, Vietnam went through many invasions, however, its sovereignty and independence were always safeguarded. That proves the true value of Vietnamese people which lies in their Aspiration for Independence and Freedom.

The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - Hanoi is associated with important events and cultural and artistic values of Vietnam during its process of formation and development as an independent nation for nearly a millennium, and also its process of formation as a modern nation in Asia.
