Vietnam Military History Museum I personally enjoyed this museum a lot because it really shows the full journey of how Vietnam has gone through its history to become what it is today. The museum is huge and very well organized, with a clear layout that guides you from the earliest periods all the way to modern times. There are many fascinating ancient artifacts and historical items on display, each giving you a deeper understanding of the country’s past. The exhibits are arranged in a way that makes the story easy to follow, so you can walk through the timeline step by step and see how events shaped the nation. One thing I especially liked was the use of simple and easy-to-understand cartoon illustrations that tell the stories of national heroes. It makes the museum more engaging and accessible, even for those who might not be familiar with the history beforehand. Overall, it’s a meaningful and well-presented museum that helps you appreciate how far Vietnam has come. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in history or wanting to understand the country on a deeper level.

The building is four floors high, but only the first floor was open to the public. The ticket price was 40,000 VND per adult. After passing through the entrance, many tanks and fighter planes are displayed on both sides of the vast grounds. The building itself is quite spacious, with the left side of the main entrance leading to exhibition rooms covering periods from BC to after the World War II, and the right side leading to exhibition rooms covering periods from before the Vietnam War to the present day. Because it is quite large, visitors who wish to see all the exhibits thoroughly will likely need two to three hours. All exhibits feature accompanying English explanations, making them easy to understand. However, it appears there was no audio guide available. This spot is recommended for those who wish to experience Vietnamese history from a Vietnamese perspective. The only inconvenience is its location, being a little way from the city centre.

Huge and brand new. Not fully open yet but will definitely be awesome when it's all completed. Their still adding new areas and doing construction. Definitely worth a visit if you can take a taxi out to the new location. Very hot during the day outside. Inside is nice and air conditiones.
