The second edition of this exhibition will feature many new works created by students from the Faculty of Arts at Vietnam National University, Hanoi. These pieces are inspired by the rich folk art tradition that originated from the same community, showcasing reflections on heritage and its values in contemporary life.

In a departure from traditional paper, the paintings will be crafted on modern materials such as lacquer and silk. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to appreciate the harmonious blend of historical and contemporary artistic expressions. Traditional Hang Trong Tet paintings on display will include notable works such as “Tu Binh,” “To Nu,” and “Ca Chep Vuot Vu Mon.” Additionally, recreational works featured in the exhibition include titles like “Roi Ve Ky Uc,” “Trong,” and “Trong Vuon Hoa Hang Trong.”

The exhibition is being held at Nam Huong Pavilion, located at 75 Hang Trong, Hanoi, and will run until March 31, 2025. It is open daily from 9 AM to 4 PM.
