Right at the entrance to the exhibition space is an 80-year model built using the Complete Party Documents. This is one of the outstanding achievements of the publishing industry, directly contributing to the Party's theoretical work.

The main space features a large screen showing documentary films about the glorious history of the publishing industry and its major achievements and directions in the new era.

At this exhibition, the Department of Publishing, Printing and Distribution also cooperated with the National Library of Vietnam to introduce to the public valuable documents and original artifacts, which are books and printed pages published and printed during the historic autumn days of 1945 and in the Viet Bac resistance base during the fiery years of the resistance war against France.

Exhibition of 12 cultural industries: Creative flow from tradition to modernity

The highlight here is the Typo printer that the General Confederation of Labor gave to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor in 1966, then donated to the Liberation Trade Union and transferred to War Zone D to organize the printing of documents serving the resistance war for national liberation. After traveling thousands of kilometers across the fiery Truong Son Mountains, in the midst of fierce battlefields, the printer was used by printers who were soldiers of the Liberation Army to print hundreds of thousands of pages of documents serving the revolutionary cause until the day of total victory.

In addition to printed books, at the exhibition space, the publishing industry also brings readers to visit and directly experience thousands of e-books with diverse formats, including audiobooks that are loved by young readers.

Next to the exhibition space introducing the achievements of the industry is the Book Sales Area serving a large number of readers visiting on an area of nearly 400m2 with the participation of 7 major and typical publishers and prestigious distribution brands. The books sold at the Exhibition ensure full legal requirements, have good content and no political or ideological violations.
