The exhibition is held to celebrate the 133rd birthday of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2023) and the 65th anniversary of Uncle Ho's return to live and work in the stilt house in the Presidential Palace area (May 17, 1958 - May 17, 2023).

On this occasion, the President Ho Chi Minh relic site at the Presidential Palace also coordinated with the Vietnam Post Corporation under the Ministry of Information and Communications to issue a special postage stamp set of Uncle Ho's Stilt House in the Presidential Palace area, and at the same time organized a scientific seminar on the 65th anniversary of Uncle Ho's Stilt House in the Presidential Palace area.

The exhibition Collection of President Ho Chi Minh's signatures and autographs from 1945 to 1969 includes more than 200 orders, decrees for storage along with many autographed documents and nearly 80 documentary photos illustrating the historical period from 1945 to 1969, which was also the 24 years that Uncle Ho held the highest position as President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

Many decrees with President Ho Chi Minh's handwriting or signature are evidence of President Ho Chi Minh's talented and wise leadership role in the early years of building the young state government, in the years of resistance to protect national independence, demonstrating President Ho Chi Minh's ideology of great national unity.

Examples include President Ho Chi Minh's call for national resistance on December 19, 1946, President Ho Chi Minh's handwriting calling on all people to compete in patriotism in 1948...

These documents are currently being preserved and stored at the National Archives Center III, Department of State Records and Archives.

According to the organizers, through the content of the original archives of President Ho Chi Minh's handwriting and signature at this exhibition, we have more practical conditions to learn, study, and follow his working style and expression style.
