Visitors will have the opportunity to admire stunning images of the Long Bien Bridge through the ups and downs of history in the exhibition "Long Bien Bridge – The Bridge of Art," which opens at 5:00 PM on May 18th.

The Long Bien Bridge, spanning three centuries, has witnessed three protracted wars of resistance waged by the Vietnamese people, changing the course of the world and becoming a symbol of Hanoi – the heroic capital, the city for peace.

To commemorate the 15th anniversary of Hanoi being recognized by UNESCO as a City for Peace and the 112th anniversary of the Long Bien Bridge, audiences will have the opportunity to admire 112 paintings and 112 photographs by more than 50 Vietnamese and international artists (from the USA, France, Belgium, Denmark, and South Korea), showcasing different aspects of the bridge's history, love, war and peace, hope and dreams…

Within the framework of the exhibition "Long Bien Bridge - The Bridge of Art," there will be roundtable discussions (Arts Talk) on solutions for preserving the artistic heritage of Long Bien Bridge in conjunction with sustainable development.

The exhibition will take place from May 18th to June 25th at Heritage Space, Dolphin Plaza, 17 Tran Binh Street, My Dinh, Hanoi. Admission is free.
