B-52 Victory Museum, Military museum in Ba Dinh District, Hanoi, Vietnam.
The B-52 Victory Museum is a military facility in Ba Dinh District showcasing wreckage from aircraft, artillery pieces, and wartime equipment spread across exhibition halls. The displays include reconstructed battlefield scenes, photographs, and documents that give visitors a sense of how events unfolded during the conflict period.
The museum was established to commemorate a major military campaign when air defense forces achieved a significant victory against attacking aircraft. This achievement became a turning point that eventually led to peace negotiations and the end of the conflict.
The displays reflect how this military victory holds deep meaning for visitors from across Vietnam who come to honor those involved. The exhibits show personal stories and photographs that connect the conflict to everyday Vietnamese life and collective memory.
It is best to visit on a weekday when crowds are typically smaller, as the museum is open Tuesday through Sunday with both morning and afternoon sessions. The site includes outdoor areas where you can walk around preserved military equipment and indoor exhibition halls for detailed viewing.
The outdoor area displays a complete aircraft wreck at full size, giving visitors a striking sense of the scale and construction of military machines from that era. Near it stand original radar systems and anti-aircraft guns that reveal the technology used for defense during this period.
