The Thang Long Royal Citadel in Hanoi, parts of which were excavated recently, will be preserved as an outdoor museum, according to a government decision.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has asked concerned agencies to make sure the design of such a museum, which is to be located at the excavation site at 18 Hoang Dieu St., will be in harmony with the surrounding architecture, including the Parliament House.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences have been asked to carry out further research on restoration work at the place.
Dung has also ordered the ministry to submit a plan to build the relic area as an open museum, to be located on Hoang Dieu and Hoang Van Thu Street, as well as to limit the construction of new overground buildings.
The Ministry of Construction has been told to coordinate with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to work on an underground street project which runs through Hoang Dieu Street to connect the area of 18 Hoang Dieu with part of the royal citadel.
Recently, the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences handed over the A and B areas at 18 Hoang Dieu Street to the city after nine years of excavating.
The capital city’s Thang Long Royal citadel was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2010.
