In 2014, the museum had approximately 500 artifacts contributed by veteran journalists working at the Vietnam Journalists Association. To collect more artifacts, we have appealed to and encouraged journalists to donate items, creating a relatively comprehensive overview of the history of journalism.”

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