The event coincided with the 51st anniversary of the liberation of Truong Sa (April 29) and the 51st anniversary of the liberation of Southern Vietnam and national reunification (April 30).
The museum will be built on a plot of land exceeding 17,100 square meters, bordered by the sea to the east and the Gac Ma Martyrs Memorial to the west. Designed with three above-ground floors and one basement, the 3,800-square-metre structure draws inspiration from branches reaching from the mainland toward the Spratly Islands and the East Sea, symbolizing a journey of safeguarding maritime sovereignty.
To prepare the items to be exhibited, the Khanh Hoa Provincial Museum has conducted a survey and compiled an initial collection of over 1,150 images, documents, and artifacts related to the Spratly Islands.
Nguyen Thanh Ha, Vice Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, said that the Museum will be an important cultural institution, serving research, exhibition, and presentation of documents and artifacts about the history of Vietnam's struggle to protect its maritime sovereignty.
“The Truong Sa Museum is fully funded by Vingroup. Upon completion, the project will be handed over to Khanh Hoa province for management, operation, and service to the people and tourists nationwide. This will also serve as a significant site for traditional education for future generations. Connecting with the Gac Ma Martyrs Memorial, it will form a cultural and spiritual heritage axis related to the islands and seas in this area,” said Mr. Ha.
The Truong Sa Museum is planned to be completed and put into operation in the first quarter of 2028.
