★★★★★2 weeks agoMilitary colonization, campaigns and invasions and resistance told from the Vietnamese perspective. Interesting displays of the debris of war and colonial invasions and aggression outside. Well worth a longer visit on a stunning complex

★★★★★a month ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly kid-friendly! I wasn't sure if my child would enjoy a military museum, but the tanks, fighter jets, and large outdoor displays kept them excited the entire time. There was plenty of space to walk around, and it felt more interactive than many traditional museums. As a parent, I appreciated how the museum combines history and education with exhibits that children can actually get excited about. We spent almost 3 hours there and still didn't see everything. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Hanoi with kids. Just bring a hat and comfortable shoes because the outdoor area is quite large.
