A photography exhibition is showcasing famous photos captured by foreign reporters that depict the harsh reality of war and the key events that signalled the end of the war in Vietnam.

Many well-known photos around the world, including Pulitzer prize winning efforts are on display such as the photo of Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk, burning himself to protest against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government in 1963 by Malcolm Browne or Napalm Girl-Kim Phuc 1972 by Nick Ut.

They are being displayed at the Memory of the War Exhibition at Vietnam Military History Museum to celebrate the 41st anniversary of Reunification Day.
