The exhibition features nearly 100 of the best photos and paintings from the second National Painting Contest on Environment which was launched in 2012 by the General Department of Environment under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
The contest attracted 1,620 works by over 600 professional and amateur artists and painters as well as children who love painting from 30 provinces and cities across the country. The organisers aim to raise public awareness of environmental protection and coping with climate change.
