Opening of the art exhibition 'Land of Memories'

To commemorate the 79th anniversary of the Day of War Invalids and Martyrs (July 27, 1947 - July 27, 2026), on July 2nd, the Quang Tri Provincial Museum, in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hue City, opened the art exhibition "Land of Memories" by artist and soldier Nguyen Van Nguyen, who directly participated in the resistance war in the "land of fire" Vinh Linh.

The delegates cut the ribbon to officially open the exhibition.

Artist Nguyen Van Nguyen, originally from Vinh Phuc province, completed his studies at the Vietnam College of Fine Arts in 1971. He was then assigned to cultural work in the Vinh Linh frontline, serving the resistance war against the US and becoming an artist and cultural soldier in this "land of fire" until the country achieved peace in 1975.

After preserving his collection of sketches depicting the resistance war in Vinh Linh (Quang Tri) and Quang Binh for over 50 years, in 2024, artist Nguyen Van Nguyen donated nearly 150 of his sketches to the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hue City.

This collection of sketches not only possesses artistic value but also serves as precious documentation of the fierce bombing period in the nation's history (1971-1975) and the working and productive life of the people after the country's liberation, from the authentic and emotionally rich perspectives of the artist and soldier.
