To commemorate the August Revolution (August 19th) and National Day (September 2nd), a series of cultural events, including a traditional handicrafts exhibition, have been organized by the Management Board of Hanoi Old Quarter. The traditional handicrafts, which are an integral part of Hanoians’ daily life, will be displayed at four locations in the Old Quarter starting from August 5th, 2025.
During the exhibition, in addition to visiting a well-preserved ancient house to appreciate its architecture, tourists visiting the heritage house at 87 Ma May Street will have the opportunity to marvel at both traditional and contemporary lacquer art.
For those interested in ceramics or familiar with Bat Trang and Chu Dau pottery villages, an exhibition dedicated to Vietnamese ceramics is not to be missed at No. 28 Hang Buom Street.
Additionally, travelers can explore bronze decorative items, including drums, statues, bells, and various bronze artworks crafted by artisans from Quynh Boi craft village, showcased elegantly at No. 42-44 Hang Bac Street, within the Kim Ngan communal house.
More intriguingly, by visiting the Dong Lac communal house at 38 Hang Dao Street, tourists can view a collection of typical attire worn by women, officials, workers, and soldiers from 1945 to 1954. These costumes serve as poignant reminders of the challenging times faced by Hanoians during the war and illustrate the evolution of fashion over the decades. Their historical significance is truly remarkable.
