ARMY MUSEUM IN HANOI CITY
 
The Vietnam Army Museum is located on Dien Bien Phu Street in Hanoi. It was formerly the French expeditionary barracks and covers 10,000 m2 divided into 30 showrooms. It opened in December 1959. The Vietnam Army Museum contains objects and documents related to the establishment and development of the Vietnamese armed forces.

There are many artifacts demonstrating the tradition of fighting against foreign aggressors in previous eras. The museum also has many displays depicting the development of the Vietnamese armed forces.

The evolution of the Vietnamese National Army and the Vietnamese People’s Army (1946-1954) is displayed with weapons, maps, and objects of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign.

The fighting period against the United States army, which ended in 1975, is also represented through maps, models of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign, plus artifacts that belonged to heroic Vietnamese soldiers.

Several large and impressive artifacts, such as heavy weapons retrieved from enemy forces and shards of US planes, are also exhibited.
