The first floor is separated into two display rooms: 1A (1925-1945) and 1B (1945-1975). Both areas are also flexible spaces for the museum’s new exhibitions and arts events. Following the theme on the ground level, room 1A exhibits artworks by the series of artists from the Indochinese School of Fine Arts (1925-1945) and further, covers other important names of this period who were not trained under the French-established art educational system. Room 1B focuses on the next 30-year historical period of resistance war against the French colonialist (1945-1954) and the American empire (1954-1975). Here, viewers explore themes of wartime and revolution, displaying works of artists with their life attached to battlefield and military, including artists of the ‘resistance class’, or also commonly known as the ‘To Ngoc Van class’.
The second level, our largest exhibition space, is divided by regions of Northern, Central, and Southern Vietnam. The artworks displayed in this space belong to the post-war period, after the reunification of Northern and Southern Vietnam (1975), and the beginning of the ‘Doi Moi’ (Reform) policy (1986). Moreover, similar to the first level, this is also a flexible space for special exhibitions and other art-related events.
