Hanoi (VNA) – Valuable documents and artefacts related to President Ho Chi Minh were donated to the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi during a ceremony held on November 6 on the occasion of the museum's 55th founding anniversary (November 25, 1970 – 2025).
Addressing the event, Director of the museum Vu Manh Ha said President Ho Chi Minh — a national liberation hero and outstanding cultural figure — left a vast legacy of thought, morality, lifestyle, including valuable documents and artefacts linked to the nation’s historic struggles and glorious achievements.
Collecting, preserving, researching, and promoting the value of documents and artefacts related to the late is a sacred responsibility for every organisation and individual, he stressed.
According to Ha, the documents and artefacts presented at the event are valuable materials that reflect the strength of the great national solidarity under the Party’s leadership, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, the enduring friendship between Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, and the late leader’s boundless love for children.
In addition, the collection includes letters and documents highlighting the close relationship between President Ho Chi Minh and Comrade Dang Viet Chau, an outstanding disciple entrusted with important responsibilities in the Government and who made significant contributions to the national construction and defence, particularly in the fields of industry and trade, finance, and banking.
The family of former Minister of Health Hoang Tich Tri, a patriotic intellectual, for the second time, donated to the museum a photograph of President Ho Chi Minh with several government members.
Meanwhile, the family of the late musician Tran Hoan presented original manuscripts of several songs about President Ho Chi Minh, providing insight into his creative process, artists’ sentiments toward President Ho Chi Minh, and the role of music in promoting his ideals in Vietnamese culture.
Nguyen Phu Cuong from Hanoi donated a photograph of President Ho Chi Minh with representatives of organisations celebrating his 60th birthday in 1950 at Viet Bac. This valuable document vividly reflects the deep affection of the Vietnamese people for the leader.
Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, former Head of the Collection Department at the Ho Chi Minh Museum, donated several copies of the “Declaration of Independence” of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945, and issues of the Cuu Quoc newspaper, collected from archives in France and Vietnam. These support research and exhibitions on the nation’s historic moment in 1945.
The museum also received award-winning posters from competitions commemorating the 135th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 – 2025), the 110th anniversary of his journey to seek ways for national salvation (June 5, 1911 -2021), and the 70th anniversary of National Resistance Day (December 19, 1946 – 2021), organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. These artworks reflect contemporary creativity and the artists’ deep respect and gratitude toward President Ho Chi Minh.
Ha stated that the museum pledges to preserve, safeguard, and promote the value of these precious documents and artefacts with the highest sense of responsibility and respect, so that every Vietnamese citizen and international visitor can gain a deeper understanding of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle — a priceless spiritual heritage of the nation./.
