★★★★★a year agoThe museum exhibits on the last campaign to end the Vietnam war, a great place to visit. - Indoor: Features a range of photos, documents, items, and model demonstrations put together to provide a insightful understanding of the campaign's evolution and its impact. - Outdoor: You can see various types of howitzers, vehicles used by the Liberation Army during the time. Additionally, the display includes notorious weapons, representing for the Cold War era, such as the SAM-2 missile, the F4 fighter jet and the T-54/55 tank.

★★★★★a year agoEntrance is free but you can pay 10 000 VND for a brochure. Small in comparison to other museums in the city but worth a visit to see some old war items, from clothing and personal belongings, to artillery and aircraft. Not all displays have English plaques but most do.
