Delivering the opening speech, museum director Vu Manh Ha said that from different angles on the late President’s life, career, and lifestyle, the exhibition depicts a great leader who devoted his life to his country’s revolutionary cause.

Displaying over 200 documents, photos, and pictures, the exhibition will be open until July 15.

He also led the struggle for national independence and established the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, in 1945. The President passed away in 1969.
