With the desire to restore the ancient Mid-Autumn lanterns that have somewhat faded from the community's memory; with the passion to preserve traditional crafts, author Doan Thai Cuc Huong brought to the exhibition nostalgic works made from rattan, woven bamboo, traditional Do paper and natural, environmentally friendly earth colors.

Taking place from September 6-14, 2025, the "Lam" exhibition by artist Doan Cuc Thai Huong brings traditional Mid-Autumn Festival lantern designs closer to contemporary audiences.

The exhibition is open to the public free of charge from 9 am to 5 pm at the Ai Tra Art Center ( Hanoi ).
