Staged in the Thai Hoc area, the exhibition showcases works created from light, wood, silk, metal, do paper and ceramics, blended with modern installation and sculptural techniques. Together, they offer visitors an emotionally rich and highly interactive visual experience.

Many pieces draw inspiration from iconic Vietnamese cultural images, including scholars, dragons and phoenixes, and traditional festivals, portraying the journey of learning, self-cultivation and service across generations.

Nguyen Lan, a Hanoi resident visiting the exhibition, said: "I was impressed by the scale and creativity of the works, particularly artist Phan Minh Bach’s lantern installations, which evoke memories and nostalgia of the past."

The exhibition’s themes revolve around the scholarly tradition of the past, teacher–student relationships, and the thousand-year Thang Long festival.

Artist Vu Xuan Dong, head of the “Echoes of Heritage” art group, said: "Our group has studied thoroughly. At this exhibition, we tell the story of learning in a fresh, non-dogmatic way by using the festive spirit and familiar materials in innovative forms."

The exhibition “A Millennium of Learning” offers a unique artistic space for reflection on the value of knowledge, ethics and today’s responsibility to preserve ancestral heritage. It also reaffirms the Temple of Literature’s role as a cultural, educational and creative hub in contemporary society.
