With a consistent message about the decisive beginnings of the Vietnamese revolution occurring in spring, the exhibition highlights pivotal historical milestones, the leadership role of the Party, and the immense power of the people, laying the foundation for the victories of the Vietnamese revolution.
The special exhibition features over 150 images, documents, and valuable artifacts, vividly recreating the significant "springs" in the history of the Vietnamese revolution, from the early days of seeking national salvation and gaining independence to nearly 40 years of renovation and aspirations for development in the new era.
The exhibition is divided into three parts: Revolutionary Spring – Independent Spring – Aspirational Spring, depicting the continuous development of the Vietnamese revolution under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Revolutionary Spring introduces the context of forming revolutionary thoughts and organizations, from scattered patriotic movements to the unification of communist organizations and the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the spring of 1930, closely linked to the decisive role of Leader Nguyen Ai Quoc. The Party's establishment ended the crisis of national salvation strategies, marking a major turning point in national history. The spring of 1941 is another milestone when Nguyen Ai Quoc returned to the homeland to directly lead the revolution, laying the foundation for national unity and preparing for the August 1945 General Uprising, vividly depicted through numerous artifacts, documents, and revolutionary press collections before 1945.
Independent Spring recreates the victory of the August Revolution in 1945, the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945, and the nationwide General Election on January 6, 1946 – a landmark establishing the sovereignty of the first people's democratic state in Vietnam. Notable artifacts such as ballot boxes, voter cards, election decrees, and "Uncle Ho's Banknotes" affirm the sovereignty of the independent state.
Finally, Aspirational Spring reflects nearly 40 years of renovation since the 6th Congress in 1986, leading to integration, digital transformation, and sustainable development.
The exhibition highlights the country's major achievements, Party Congress documents, and breakthrough resolutions, while also reflecting the preparations for the 14th National Congress of the Party, reinforcing the people's confidence in the country's development path in the new phase.
