Not only rich in artefacts reflecting nature, history, culture, and the people of Ha Noi, the Ha Noi Museum is adopting creative methods to let artefacts “escape” from vitrines, with heritage transmission activities that foster community imagination.

Ha Noi is home to numerous theatres and artistic units, including six municipal theatres alongside many centrally-run theatres, private artistic organisations, and traditional art clubs. This presents favourable conditions for developing performing arts into a key pillar of the cultural industry.

An international symposium on the cultural industry, which is considered as a strategic driver for sustainable development, opened in Tokyo on October 17.
