The exhibition brings new and creative perspectives on the Mid-Autumn Festival, helping viewers revisit sweet childhood memories through images of lanterns, mooncakes, and traditional folktales.

The 47 works were carefully selected from an illustration competition with the theme of Mid-Autumn Festival. Each artwork presents a unique viewpoint, showcasing a blend of tradition and modernity.

A standout feature of the exhibition is the version of “lighting up” during the evening tours called "Night Experience at Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam”. This allows the public to enjoy the artworks under shimmering lights, creating a quintessential Mid-Autumn ambience in the heart of Hanoi.

The exhibition promotes traditional cultural values to the younger generation and reinforces Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam as a special cultural and creative space in Hanoi.
