A thematic exhibition showcasing southerners' love for the great leader is underway at the museum.

Ms. Vo Thi Vien Nguyen, Head of Trung Trac primary school in District 11, said: "Through stories about Uncle Ho, what impresses me most is his simplicity and profound love for all people, especially children. As primary educators, we have learnt much from his example in how we care for our students. We plan to incorporate these lessons into our weekly flag-raising ceremonies to help instill his values in our pupils."

A portrait of President Ho Chi Minh made from lotus seeds by artist Le Moc Oanh on display has attracted a lot of attention.
