Exhibition introduces archival documents about trade fairs in Hanoi

Archival documents and images from major international and domestic trade fairs held in Hanoi in the early 20th century are on display at an exhibition in the capital.

The “Trade Fair Complex - Convergence of Quintessence” exhibition showcases over 300 valuable archival documents and images of significant exhibitions and fairs held at the Grand Palais, an exhibition and trade fair complex in Hanoi built for the 1902 Hanoi world trade fair.

Many have never been displayed to the public before.

According to organisers, the exhibition also provides a space to showcase international trade fairs held mostly in France and featuring Vietnamese products.

Vietnamese products were highly valued at exhibitions in Paris, Marseille, Lyon, San Francisco, New York, Brussels, and other foreign cities.

The exhibition will run until June 30 at the National Archives Centre 1. Entry is free./.
