All 63 provinces and cities will select 1,000 objects typical of each locality to put in a time capsule to mark the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
Apart from 63 objects representing each province and city, the rest 937 items which represent the country’s cultural characteristics and science technology level at the time the capital city marks its 1,000th birthday will be selected by people nationwide. Proposals can be sent by mail to the Hanoi Department of Cultural, Sport and Tourism at 47 Hang Dau Street, Hoan Kiem District, or by email to qvhhanoi@gmail.com.
In May, the organising committee will announce the list of selected objects and an exhibition to display all the objects will be held in August.
The time capsule will be buried in the Hanoi Museum grounds in October, to be opened in another millennium.
