Bold colors, striking shapes, and touches of folk art, combined with highly manual painting and printing techniques, the works certainly have a truly unique character! Carrying messages of patriotism, resilience and victories, this collection offers a vivid visual representation of Viet Nam’s turbulent but heroic history during times of wars and peace.

You will find the common themes among the posters and billboards during the resistance war against the French with slogans such as fighting against the French enemy, fighting against the enemy of illiteracy and promoting agricultural production. These slogans are accompanied by images of Uncle Ho in all aspects of the resistance war.

The Franco-Vietnam war ended with the resounding Vietnamese victory in Dien Bien Phu, the fame of which spread through the graphically changed images of colorful posters and billboards.
After the Dien Bien Phu victory, Vietnam was divided into North Vietnam and South Vietnam.

During this short lived period of peace (1954‒1964), posters and billboards in the North boomed with slogans supporting government campaigns reconstruct the country after the devastation of war, expand industrial and agricultural production, celebrate the Party’s and Uncle Ho’s anniversaries, strengthening solidarity between workers, peasants and soldiers and struggle for the reunification of the country… And, in the South, the revolutionary artists also produced posters for the reunification of the country.
