As of early 2025, Vietnam has 327 artifacts and groups of artifacts recognized by the Prime Minister as National Treasures. Of which, Ho Chi Minh City has 17, which are currently kept at multiple museums across the city, including the city's Museum, the Museum of History, the Museum of Fine Arts and the private collection of Pham Gia Chi Bao.

On the International Museum Day on May 18, 2025, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City will organize the "Thematic Exhibition "National Treasures - Heritage Masterpieces in Ho Chi Minh City", bringing together National Treasures from public and private museums. This will be the first time where National Treasures from both the city's private and public museums are displayed together, creating a comprehensive picture of the Vietnamese history and culture from prehistoric to modern times.

The exhibition "National Treasures – Heritage Masterpieces in Ho Chi Minh City" is not only an important cultural event but also serves as the bridge connecting the past and the present, helping the public to further understand the value of each artifact. Furthermore, not only does this event honor the National Treasures but it also spreads the urge to protect, preserve and promote the Vietnamese cultural treasures.
