The exhibition, titled “60 years of Uncle Ho's stilt house in Ho Chi Minh Presidential Palace” is among the activities to celebrate the 128th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh’s birthday.
It is a meaningful activity in protecting and developing the values of traditional stilt house, which plays a unique part in the legend about the President over the past 60 years.
The event presents to viewers 200 photos, objects and documents themed Uncle Ho's Stilt House in Ho Chi Minh Presidential Palace; and Uncle Ho's Stilt House, a symbol of President Ho Chi Minh's thoughts, morals, and style, and national unity and international integration.
They also manifest the extraordinary thoughts, lifestyle, morality and spirit of the President’s tireless dedication to the national revolution and happiness of the people.
On the occasion, a workshop was also organised to promote the conservation work and value of the Ho Chi Minh relic site.
Over the past year, the relic site staff have made maximum efforts to preserve the exhibits displayed at the site, and have introduced Uncle Ho’s life and revolutionary career to friends all over the world.
Opened on May 17, the construction has two floors. Uncle Ho used the ground floor as a sitting-room to receive international delegates and to meet with the Political Bureau. The floor above includes a working room and a bedroom. President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked at the house until he passed away in 1969.
The work, designed by architect Nguyen Van Ninh, took one month to complete, marking the 68th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh.
The site welcomes millions of visitors every year.
