Viet Museum, History museum in History Park, San Jose, United States

The Viet Museum is a history museum in San Jose housed within a historic building at History Park. It displays personal objects, photographs, and documents that document the journeys and lived experiences of Vietnamese Americans.

Planning for the museum began in 1976 and took over 30 years to realize; it opened on August 25, 2007. It was created by the San Jose nonprofit IRCC (Immigrant Resettlement & Cultural Center), headed by Vũ Văn Lộc, a former colonel in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam. It is believed to be the only museum in the world exhibiting artifacts of the Vietnamese diaspora.

The museum's Vietnamese name is Viện Bảo Tàng Việt Nam, and it is also called the Museum of the Boat People & the Republic of Vietnam. Its three collection sections are labelled 1950–1975, 1975–1996 and 1975–2007, tracing the Republic of Vietnam, the boat people's search for freedom, and Vietnamese Americans building liberty. Among the items kept is a pair of crutches used by the musician Việt Dzũng.

The museum sits within a larger park containing other historic buildings worth exploring while you visit. Plan time to walk around the grounds since the collection is contained in a single historic house.

Among the objects kept here are personal items of the songwriter Việt Dzũng, including the crutches he used during his lifetime. The museum is believed to be the only one in the world exhibiting artifacts of the Vietnamese diaspora, and San Jose holds the second-largest Vietnamese community in the United States after Orange County.
