Hanoi offering a closer look at Vietnam's anthropological population.
Co-organised
by the Vietnam Nature Museum and the Italian Embassy, the exhibition
has gathered over 200 photos of insects from across the country taken by
researcher Vu Van Lien and Italian photographer Saolo Bambi.
Each
panel features a characteristic of the insect life in an artistic style
although they were initially taken purely for scientific research
purposes.
There are also nine photos of typical forests
throughout Vietnam, located at various different altitudes from the
southern island of Phu Quoc to Fansipan, the peak of Indochina, in the
northernwestern province of Lao Cai.
The exhibition aims to celebrate 2010 as the first year of international biological diversity initiated by the United Nations.
"The
exhibition also has a further purpose of promoting the protection of
biological diversity as well as our living environment for now and for
future generations," said Professor Chau Van Minh, chairman of the
Vietnam Science and Technology Institute.
The exhibition will be on display at Exhibition House, 45 Trang Tien Street, until Dec. 19./.
