The extraordinary circular oil on canvas painting measures 132 meters long, 20.5 meters high, and 42 meters in diameter, with an additional 6 meter embossed section. The entire work covers a total area of over 3,200 square meters. It was created by a collaboration of 200 painters starting in November 2019.
Completed in May 2022, the painting features over 4,500 characters and depicts 56 days and nights of fierce fighting and harsh conditions faced by the Vietnamese army and people which led to the great Dien Bien Phu victory that shook the world.
Using 3D mapping technology, which involves creating three-dimensional representations of objects, environments, or spaces, the display is enhanced with sound and light effects to evoke deep emotions in a vibrant, heroic, and epic setting.
The unique display which opens this Friday will close on Sunday.
