The first attractive and meaningful destination is the exhibition Independence Autumn at the Ho Chi Minh Museum.

With more than 200 documents, images and artifacts, the exhibition helps viewers feel the aspiration, the will for independence, self-reliance, and the strength of great national unity since the summer of 1911, when the patriotic young man Nguyen Tat Thanh boarded a ship leaving Nha Rong Wharf to find a way to save the country until the day Uncle Ho returned to Ba Dinh Square to read the declaration of Vietnam's independence.

There are also many valuable documents related to "Independence Autumn" such as photo documents and the story of Uncle Ho writing the Declaration of Independence at 48 Hang Ngang; the letter "Respectfully to compatriots" Uncle Ho wrote on June 6, 1941 calling on all people to unite to fight against the French and Japanese.

In particular, there are also some documents and artifacts introduced for the first time by the Ho Chi Minh Museum such as: A copy of Nguyen Ai Quoc's identity card at 6 Villa des Gobelins Street, issued on September 4, 1919 (with a photo stamped with his embossed seal and signature), and Nguyen Ai Quoc's photographer's business card.

Or the letter President Ho Chi Minh sent to the Central Executive Committee of the German Socialist Unity Party informing and inviting the delegation to attend the Party Congress and the 15th National Day of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, August 1, 1960.

The book whose name has long become the truth in the hearts of the Vietnamese people, a call for millions of young people to fight to protect the Fatherland - Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom by President Ho Chi Minh, which was broadcast on Hanoi Radio in July 1966, is also an attractive exhibit at the exhibition Independence Autumn.
