Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi on January 17 opened an exhibition to mark the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) (February 3, 1930 – 2025) and celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Snake.

The exhibition features 66 artworks by 55 artists, created between 1954 and 2010. The works are displayed in two formats - traditional and digital projection. Of the 66 works, 36 are displayed in traditional formats, using materials such as lacquer, oil paint, silk, copper, and wood, while 30 pieces are presented through digital projection.

Opening the event, Director of the museum Nguyen Anh Minh said that the works, including paintings, graphics, and sculptures, use a variety of materials and artistic styles, reflecting the distinctive mark of each artist.

He highlighted the importance of the CPV's founding in 1930, underlining that the exhibition features key historical moments, from the early days of Nguyen Ai Quoc (Ho Chi Minh)’s search for a path to national salvation to the August Revolution’s success in 1945.

Depicting the two long resistance wars, the artworks not only capture the revolutionary realities but also show the artists' deep respect for the martyrs’ sacrifices, he stated.

Minh said that the works also highlight the Party’s leadership in national building, its resilience, and the trust of the people, including artists, in the Party. A number of works show different periods in national development, he added.

Created by generations of Vietnamese artists, these pieces express unique perceptions of the country’s journey. Through the works, the artists reflect on the CPV’s glorious history, from the search for independence to reunification, national development, and renewal.

Minh said that the museum hopes the exhibition will offer the public a deeper understanding of the CPV’s rich legacy and the significant achievements made under its leadership. It reaffirms the trust that the people, especially artists, have in the Party and in President Ho Chi Minh, showcasing 95 years of leadership that has guided the nation from struggle to independence, unity, and prosperity.

The exhibition will run until February 27 at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum./.
