Vietnam Military History Museum
Bảo tàng Lịch sử Quân sự Việt Nam
A grand new museum that moved to Thăng Long Avenue at the end of 2024, displaying fighter jets, tanks and war relics from across the ages both indoors and outdoors.
The Vietnam Military History Museum was originally located beside the Hanoi Flag Tower in Ba Đình district, and at the end of 2024 it moved to a new building on Thăng Long Avenue, about 15 km west of the city center. The new building covers a large area. Its indoor galleries present Vietnam's history and artifacts in chronological order, from ancient resistance against foreign invaders to the wars against the French and the Americans. The outdoor square displays MiG fighter jets, tanks, artillery and the wreckage of American aircraft that were shot down. It suits visitors interested in modern history and military affairs. Take a taxi or Grab (about 30-40 minutes). Opening hours and ticket information follow the official announcements. The old museum site at the Hanoi Flag Tower can still be seen from the outside.
