The exhibition is held to commemorate the 115th anniversary of International Women's Day (March 8, 1910 - March 8, 2025), the 1,985th anniversary of the Hai Ba Trung uprising (40 - 2025), and the International Day of Happiness (March 20).

The exhibition presents 32 remarkable artworks from the “Houei” collection, donated and loaned to Danang city in 2020 by Toyokichi Itoh, representative of Sun Lease Co., Ltd. Created between 1955 and 1999 by renowned artists such as Tu Duyen, Linh Chi, To Lien, and Duong Bich Lien, the works feature diverse materials and techniques, including oil painting, pastels, silk, and watercolour.

Through these artworks, the image of Vietnamese women is vividly portrayed, from graceful young women and gentle ladies in festivals to hard-working mothers and resilient wives in daily life and even in combat. They embody softness, modesty, charm, and elegance across time.

This exhibition honours the timeless beauty of women and celebrates their vital contributions to Vietnam’s social and cultural development.
