The second part displays images and historic items from Hanoi during the revolution against the French colonialists, the process of government establishment, the August Revolution, the National Day and activities after liberation day.
The third part depicts Hanoi during the war against the Americans, the period of building socialism and supporting southern Vietnam in fighting the enemy.
The last section depicts modern Hanoi as “City for Peace”.

The exhibition was organized by the national archives center III, Ho Chi Minh Museum and the State Document Management and Archives Department of Vietnam to mark the millennium anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
