The years that President Ho Chi Minh lived in Hue , with the knowledge he learned in school combined with the vibrant struggles of patriotic movements in the ancient capital, created a change in his thoughts on saving the country and people before the age of 20. The late Prime Minister Pham Van Dong once commented: “The time in Hue was the time when Nguyen Tat Thanh grew up and started going to school. Those years were extremely important for the formation of Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh”.

Ho Chi Minh Museum is a place to preserve more than 1,300 images, documents, and artifacts displayed in a line of traditional and modern art design, imbued with Hue's cultural identity; deeply conveying the content of President Ho Chi Minh's life and career along with the struggle of the Hue people under the leadership of the Party and Uncle Ho. At the same time, it creates a highlight to delve into Uncle Ho's childhood and youth in Hue, the warm and sacred feelings of a leader for the people and this land, as well as the feelings and hearts of the people of Hue towards Uncle Ho, is a "red address" attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to visit, learn, helping them understand more deeply about the life and career of beloved Uncle Ho.

The content of the notebooks is written in many different languages such as American, Australian, English, French, Russian, Korean, Chinese, etc., showing the diversity of the customers coming to this address.

Each visitor's impression left in the book of impressions was enthusiastically read over and over again by museum staff. It is easy to find heartfelt guest notes from visitors from all over the world such as: "Although the visit to the Museum was not long, it was a wonderful experience" by a group of visitors from Singapore's Raffles Research Institute; "The visit to the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Thua Thien Hue (now Hue City) was very interesting. I think it would be best for me to learn and follow the thoughts and ethics of President Ho Chi Minh. Everyone in the world will be happy and joyful" by Mr. Sertep Boonterm from Thailand; "The museum is very interesting. I really enjoyed learning more about the history of Vietnam and Hue. I hope the Ho Chi Minh Museum will develop in the best way" by visitor Katie Vincic from the US...

Luu Hong Nhung, a student of class 45E, Faculty of History, Vinh University, wrote in her review book: “This is the first time I have set foot on the beloved land of Hue and visited the Ho Chi Minh Museum. I am truly moved and admired, the images and artifacts displayed here are very beautiful. Thank you to the Museum staff for creating conditions and spending a lot of time to guide and provide us with what we did not know about President Ho Chi Minh, especially during the 10 years he and his family lived in Hue and I hope that one day I will be able to return…”.

A representative of the Navy tourist group shared: “The first time I came to the ancient capital of Hue and visited the Ho Chi Minh Museum was the most wonderful thing in my experience. Here, I again encountered the simple image of Him - the beloved leader of the nation. Thank you to the people of Hue for preserving the dear memories of Him.”

And in the impressions that visitors leave for the Museum, we pay special attention to the feelings of the students, in order to understand what the young generation needs and feels after coming into contact with the historical and cultural artifacts of the nation and country that are displayed and preserved here.

Coming from Phuong Duc Primary School (Hue), the students shared the same sentiments: “Today, the school took us to visit the Ho Chi Minh Museum. Here we learned about many relics of Uncle Ho, who devoted his whole life to the revolution”…

For those working in museums, the feelings and words of thanks from visitors are truly spiritual gifts and great motivations to help museum staff make more and more efforts in professional work, arrangement, explanation and introduction of artifacts. They are great motivations to help museum staff make more and more efforts to build and make Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hue City truly an important destination, effectively serving the cultural enjoyment needs of visitors.
