The memorial space is arranged into various display corners, vividly reflecting the 80-year journey of Hue’s arts and literature. It includes the images of artistic activities before 1945, press documents related to artistic activities after the August Revolution, as well as the photos taken of artists during the resistance war, the urban movement against the U.S, the sessions of congresses, and the Ancient Capital Arts and Literature Awards.

Notably, the space also showcases many valuable artifacts, such as the piano once used by renowned musicians, the shirt of the musician Trinh Cong Son, the bicycle that accompanied the writer Nguyen Khac Phe on his creative journey, the Canon F1 camera of the photographer Phan Phung, and works by sculptor Diem Phung Thi. Each artifact stands as a witness, helping to portray the enduring tradition of creativity and dedication of generations of Hue’s artists.
