From the organizer:

The culture exhibition: “The first story: Queuing up for the past” is a lively reconstitution of Hanoi’s specific characteristics from 1975 to 1986.

Photos and exhibits of Hanoi life under subsidy economy are on display during the time of the exhibition. Moreover, visitors will have chances to watch old black-and-white movies as well as experience a familiar activity in the subsidy period: exchanging stamps and coupons for goods. Stories and experiences of witnesses who lived under the subsidy period will also be shared.

Holding the exhibition, our aim is to bring people back to timeline of Vietnam under subsidy period, to help old generations recall unforgettable moments and to educate the young about the country’s history.
