The Vietnam Press Museum officially opened this morning (June 19) after more than 1,000 days of construction, collection of artifacts and documents. The museum inauguration is the highlight of a series of activities to celebrate the 95th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day.

Based on the idea and passion to preserve, honor and strongly promote the fine tradition of generations of Vietnamese journalists, the Vietnam Journalists Association has completed the Project to build the Vietnam Press Museum. The project includes 3 component projects: "Museum Display Project", "Artifact and Document Collection Project", "Museum Personnel Recruitment and Training Project".

Since its establishment, the Document and Artifact Collection Project has been and is continuing to be implemented; over 20 thousand artifacts and documents have been collected and preserved at the museum's Base Warehouse.

Among them, there are over 700 unique and rare artifacts and documents reflecting important events in the history of Vietnamese journalism that have been researched, documented, and approved for display. The Exhibition Project was implemented simultaneously with the Collection Project and has now been completed.

The exhibition spaces are arranged on an area of ​​nearly 1,500 m², are fully exploited in different display areas... Some highlights in the exhibition spaces include: The lotus pen image in the celebration space, the diamond podium in the 1865 - 1925 space; the War Zone press in the 1945 - 1954 space; underground journalism in the 1954 - 1975 space; the area "Commemorating the journalists who died for the Fatherland and the people", For the cause of Vietnamese journalism...

According to the Vietnam Journalists Association, the project to build the Vietnam Press Museum originated from the idea and passion to preserve, honor and strongly promote the fine traditions of generations of Vietnamese journalists. Ms. Tran Thi Kim Hoa - Director of the Vietnam Press Museum said: "The Vietnam Press Museum was established later than many other museums, so the work of collecting and exploiting documents is extremely difficult. In 2014, the Museum had about 500 artifacts contributed by veteran journalists working at the Vietnam Journalists Association. In order to collect more artifacts, we called on and mobilized journalists to donate artifacts, creating a relatively general view of the history of journalism."

The press exhibition area is divided into 5 stages with many important and vivid artifacts. The documents and artifacts displayed in the museum provide a fairly comprehensive and general picture of the history of the formation and development of the Vietnamese press. Not only is it meaningful to the press industry, the museum also promises to become a tourist destination in Hanoi this year.
