Vietnam Military History Museum

The Vietnam Military History Museum in Hanoi showcases an extensive collection of military equipment from different eras, including combat aircraft and vehicles. The exhibition is organized across several buildings and displays uniforms, weapons, and documents from these historical periods.

The museum was founded in 1959 to document Vietnam's military history beginning with the fight against French colonial rule. Over time, the collection expanded to include objects from several conflicts throughout the 20th century.

The collection displays personal items and photographs from soldiers who lived through different conflicts. Visitors can understand how people experienced and endured these challenging periods.

Comfortable shoes are important since the exhibition includes both indoor displays and large outdoor areas with many objects on view. Plan enough time to explore the collections thoroughly, especially if you are interested in military details.

Next to the main buildings stands a hexagonal flag tower that rewards visitors with a viewing platform above. From there, visitors can see the aircraft and vehicles below from a different perspective.
