The Vietnam Military History Museum (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi) has announced a temporary suspension of visitor access for three days, November 3rd, 4th, and 5th, to facilitate filming for the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army.
Previously, after 5 years of construction, on the morning of November 1st, the Vietnam Military History Museum officially opened its doors to welcome people and tourists. For the first two months, admission will be completely free.
Many veterans have visited the museum since its opening day.
On its opening day, the site attracted a large number of visitors. Many arrived early in the morning to queue, including many veterans and students. The Vietnam Military History Museum is an important project aimed at celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2024), the 35th anniversary of the National Defense Day (December 22, 1989 - December 22, 2024), and the 80th anniversary of the Traditional Day of the General Political Department of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2024).
The museum boasts a modern, multi-functional design and architecture, serving not merely as a museum showcasing the history of war, but also as a shared space for visitors to interact and experience the heroic struggle for national independence waged by the Vietnamese People's Army.
The newly built museum features a modern, multi-functional design; its architecture makes it more than just a structure showcasing the history of war.
The centerpiece in front of the museum grounds is the 45-meter-high Victory Tower, symbolizing the year the country gained independence in 1945. The main exhibition space of the museum is a 35.8-meter-high building, consisting of four above-ground floors and one semi-basement floor.
Many people visited the Vietnam Military History Museum on its opening day.
The museum houses two MIG-21 aircraft, serial numbers 4324 and 5121, a T54B tank, serial number 843, and a map depicting the determination to fight during the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign. A highlight in front of the museum grounds is the Victory Tower, 45 meters high, symbolizing the historic moment in 1945 when President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
The new Vietnam Military History Museum utilizes many technological applications, such as 3D mapping and 3D films, in its exhibits. The new museum is built with a modern, multi-functional design. It is not only a museum showcasing the history of war but also creates a shared space for visitors to interact and experience.
