Vietnam Military History Museum attracts thousands of visitors

Construction work initially began in 2019, with the site spanning an area of 23,198 square metres on the Thang Long Boulevard in Nam Tu Liem district of Hanoi. The 45-metre Chien Thang Tower (Victory Tower), which is a symbol of Vietnam's independence from 1945, stands in front of the museum.

Thousands of local people form a long queue as they patiently wait to visit the museum on November 1 morning.

More than 150,000 artifacts, including four national treasures and many precious artifacts, are exhibited throughout the museum.

Many people from neighbouring localities, including Vinh Phuc and Phu Tho provinces, visit the site.

An MiG-21 is among the national relics being exhibited on the first floor of the museum.

The T-54B tank is famous for its involvement in the liberation of Hue and Da Nang, as well as for crashing through the side gate of the Independence Palace in Ho Chi Minh City on April 30, 1975. In 2012, the tank was recognised by the Government as a national treasure.

A model features the 60-day and night battle to defend the capital of Hanoi following President Ho Chi Minh’s appeal for a national resistance war in early 1972.

A mother takes her children to the museum, hoping that they will understand more about Vietnamese history after visiting.

The opening of the museum is part of activities to celebrate the 80th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army.

The opening ceremony attracts plenty of students from local primary schools in Hanoi.

The museum offers a fascinating insight into the country’s various military milestones.
