The 112-year-old bridge spanning three centuries witnessed Vietnamese people’s three wars of resistance against foreign invasion that helped change the global situation.
The French-built steel structure is now the symbol of Hanoi – the City for Peace recognized by UNESCO 15 years ago.
An Arts Talk will be held to offer the artists an opportunity to exchange ideas and introduce ways to preserve the bridge.
The exhibition will last until June 25.
