The first part, titled “Portraits of President Ho Chi Minh Through Periods” highlights the life of President Ho Chi Minh, from his youth to his final years. Exhibits include a collection of commemorative stamps issued to mark his birthday over the years, notably featuring a rare stamp released on May 19, 1960, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of his birth.

The second part, themed “Following in Uncle Ho’s Footsteps,” offers an overview of President Ho Chi Minh’s homeland, his family, his journey to seek a path for national salvation, and his pivotal role in founding the Communist Party of Vietnam. It also highlights his leadership in the country's two resistance wars against the French colonialists and American imperialists.

The third part, called “President Ho Chi Minh in the Hearts of the Vietnamese People and International Friends,” introduces images of President Ho Chi Minh’s deep connection with the Vietnamese people, especially with those in the South, children, and the People's Police force. It also features stamps of Uncle Ho issued by various countries, including Laos, Cambodia, Russia, and Germany.
