This is the first time the museum has displayed artworks in the new space. Of which, the painting category has 150 works by 145 authors, the graphic category has 20 works by 20 authors and the sculpture category has 30 works by 28 authors.

The works recreate the Vietnamese people's tradition of steadfastness in fighting to defend the country through two resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, praising the spirit of patriotism, readiness to fight and sacrifice to protect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Fatherland.
