The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and relevant agencies will hold a photo exhibition about Vietnamese traditional cultural festivals at the Vietnamese Cultural Centre in France from May 26th to June 13th.
Photos will be grouped according to ethnic minority groups and cultural regions of the country.
Outstanding photos about Vietnamese festivals which won prizes or were selected for exhibitions in Vietnam and foreign countries are included in this exhibition. Photo content focuses on major festivals such as Hung temple festival, Co Loa festival, Yen Tu festival, Giong festival, Lim festival and Huong pagoda festival; outstanding festivals in regions such as the Red River Delta, Central, Central Highlands, and Southern Vietnam; and cultural activities during festivals.
The event will contribute to improving understanding about the Vietnamese land and people; popularizing cultural tourism; and promoting tourism in Vietnam.
It will also create an opportunity for Vietnamese photographers to approach world photography, promoting the creative spirit and improving professional skills. After the exhibition, the photo collections will be presented to the Vietnam Cultural Centre in France to continue introduction and popularization in France and Europe.
