The event pays tribute to generations who sacrificed for national independence, freedom and peace, while also honouring the artists who lived, fought, and created amid the harsh realities of war.
The exhibition showcases 102 works, including paintings, sculptures, and sketches, selected from the museum’s collection and created by artists and sculptors of the Liberation Fine Arts Tradition Club. The artworks are grouped into four thematic sections: Battlefield Sketches, Memories in Flames, Silent Moments, and Perspectives Today.

A distinctive feature of this exhibition is the combination of the museum’s preserved works and wartime creations by veteran artists, forming a continuous stream of memory and evoking a reflective space about a turbulent period and the enduring echoes of the past.
According to Tran Minh Cong, Acting Director of the museum, the exhibition is not only a journey through a unique historical chapter but also an opportunity to reflect on and cherish the value of peace, an ideal to which President Ho Chi Minh devoted his life.
