Featuring more than 200 documents, photos, and artifacts, the exhibition highlights General Secretary Nguyen Van Linh’s life and revolutionary career and his pivotal role throughout key revolutionary periods. He was a devoted communist soldier in leadership and in everyday life.

Nguyen Quoc Do, Deputy Head of the Resistance Tradition Club of the Saigon-Gia Dinh Special Forces Military Zone, said: "From 1950 to 1952, Nguyen Van Linh was Secretary of the Saigon-Cho Lon Party Committee and Political Commissar of the armed forces in Saigon-Gia Dinh. He was committed to building the armed forces and providing sharp strategic guidance. The achievements of the Saigon Special Forces were, in large part, his achievements. To us, he was beloved Uncle Muoi, brother Muoi."

The exhibition has five thematic sections, corresponding to stages in the late Party leader’s revolutionary journey. Section 1 is about his place of birth, family, and youth (1915–1930). Section 2 focuses on his growth in the revolutionary struggle (1931–1945). Section 3 highlights his support for southern people (1946–1975). Section 4 features his search for a new direction for the national liberation struggle (1976–1986). Section 5 covers his leadership in the national renewal process (1986–1996).

Several documents and artifacts are being introduced to the public for the first time. The exhibition gives visitors a deeper understanding of the difficult journey of Vietnam and its people during the 20th century and the great victories Vietnam won under the leadership of the Communist Party and General Secretary Nguyen Van Linh.

Nguyen Thi Kim Ung, a visitor from Hung Yen province, said: "I’m deeply moved by the images portraying Party leader Nguyen Van Linh’s life and career. He was a steadfast, creative leader who set bold, innovative directions in national construction and renewal during challenging economic times.”

Known affectionately as Mr. Muoi Cuc, Party General Secretary Nguyen Van Linh was a visionary leader and a shining example of loyalty to the Communist Party of Vietnam. His legacy contains valuable lessons about the importance of trusting and relying on people, taking the initiative, and accepting responsibility.
