individuals at home and abroad to Hanoi, are on display at “The
hearts to Thang Long-Hanoi” exhibition, which opened in the capital city
on October 6.
The works, including paintings, embroidery
work, sculptures, handicrafts and music have been created by Vietnamese
people and foreign friends, showing their affection for the capital city
on its 1,000 th birthday.
One of the exhibits that drew the
attention of many visitors is a shoe in the size 1,000, designed by
Pham Quoc Thang, Director of the TS Milan Shoes Joint Stock Company.
The shoe has a 71cm heel, which is engraved with an ascending dragon.
“The image of the ascending dragon represents the city’s development
as it is beginning to walk abreast with other countries in the world,”
he said.
On the occasion, Hanoi’s People’s
Committee handed over certificates to the individuals and organisations
who have works on display at the exhibition.
Conductor
Claude Brendel from Frances Rouen Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, said
he was happy to receive the certificate on behalf of the composer of
the “One thousand years Thang Long” symphony, Francois Tashdjian.
He added that he was honoured to lead the orchestra playing the symphony in Hanoi to acknowledge the city’s birthday.
One
of the visitors, lawyer Phung Van De from the Hanoi Bar Association
said the exhibits reflect the love and admiration for Hanoi, Vietnam’s
capital city at present and in the future.
The exhibition will be open to public until October 12./.
