    Entry is 40,000 per adult an additional 30,000 if you have a camera. This did not include phones but I am not sure where they draw the line. I don't think museum is an accurate description of this place as it is more a collection of things from majority the Vietnam war. Very little effort goes into explaining anything and displaying it any meaningful way. With so much history we can learn from I wish they did a better job of accurately presenting this. Also, just as a side note the toilets here are the worst I've seen in South East Asia. It seems they haven't been cleaned for months.

    Horrific memories from the Vietnam war. If you know the history of the war you can get goosebumps while visiting the museum. However was a bit disappointed to know that lot of artefacts like the bombers, helicopters were moved. Overall a worthy visit for history enthusiasts.

    Unfortunately, when I initially visited the museum, it was closed. However, I made sure to plan my visit again for the following day. The museum showcases an impressive level of detail with a wide range of exhibitions, including weapons and photographs. If you have an interest in gaining a deeper understanding of history, I would recommend allocating around 1-1.5 hours for your visit. On a less positive note, I encountered an issue with the security guard at the entrance. Upon stepping in and taking a quick look around for just a few seconds, the guard shouted at me in a loud and rude manner, insisting that I purchase a ticket. It would have been appreciated if he had approached the situation with a calmer demeanor. After all, I was there to enjoy my visit and relax in the city. It's important to remember that as a visitor, I don't work for the museum or the guard. Nonetheless, I found the situation somewhat amusing and shared a lighthearted response with him. Despite the encounter with the security guard, the military museum itself offers a valuable experience, providing in-depth insights into history. I hope my review helps others plan their visit accordingly.

    A museum with so much potential to inform and discuss the complex, fascinating history that this large nation has. Some of the artefacts and exhibits give great insights and details about individual and group achievements. The museum itself can be very confusing though, since there are several buildings, some with connected rooms, some with rooms that you can only enter and exit, and there is no chronology or logic to placement.

    I loved how close you can get to everything, it's a well laid out, informative and educational place with indoor & outdoor exhibits. My students were happy to disappear and explore independently for 90 minutes. We left with a better understanding of Vietnamese history and resilience.

    Very interesting museum about Vietnamese history but just note as of December 2023 the planes and other vehicles that used to be out the back have been removed and taken to another site. This is stated on a sign on entry but doesn’t say where they’ve been taken. Either way, 60k vnd for entry is still very reasonable. Take note of the opening times too as it’s closed for lunch!

    The Vietnam Military History Museum, also known as the Army Museum, is one of the seven national museums in Vietnam. It contains an incredible collection of genuine war relics, photographs, and stories from its long-ranging wars with China, France, and the U.S. Some notable attractions are a MiG21 jet fighter, an M107 gun, a military tank, and many others. The museum was inaugurated on the 15th anniversary of the Vietnam People's Army in 1959 and has collected, stored, and displayed over 1,50,000 artifacts. It is considered a holder of Vietnam's war history. The museum houses authentic war relics, a collection of weaponry used during the Vietnam War, artifacts, and detailed accounts of war soldiers. The museum is well-curated and well-documented for those interested in the Vietnam war. Military Museum displays Soviet and Chinese equipment alongside French- and US-made weapons captured during years of warfare. The centrepiece is a Soviet-built MiG-21 jet fighter, triumphant amid the wreckage of French aircraft downed at Dien Bien Phu, and a US F-111. Adjacent is the hexagonal Flag Tower, one of the symbols of Hanoi. Tower-only admission is free via the adjacent Highlands coffee shop.

    Never going to challenge to go inside because I went on a Monday and it was shut, but walking around the grounds on the outside made up for it. The exhibits they had We're very clever, especially the monument made out of parts of all old planes that had been shot down.

  • 4/5 James G. 4 years ago on Google
    Interesting museum. Lots of exhibits from the American war and the struggle against the Saigon puppet regime;) Provides an insight into the longer military history extending back a 1,000 years +. There is also, tucked away at the back of the main exhibition building, displays and photo relating to Vietnam's most recent conflict in 1979 with the Chinese. Interestingly they don't name the Chinese explicitly but simply call it the national defence war or some such thing. I guess they don't want to offend. Interesting to get a official Vietnamese government/party interpretation but you'd do well to do your own research from other sources to get a truer picture of the history. Be careful, somewhat odd opening hours. Closed Monday and Friday and closes for the day at 16:30 and for lunch as well. You'd want at least 2 hours here if you are truly interested in the history. An hour would be enough if you just want to look at military equipment and plane parts.

    It's quite small as museums go, but there is enough if you know what I mean. 😉. Outside consists of displays of mainly 🇺🇸 helicopters and planes. Inside there's various rooms with static displays of photos and descriptions of various conflicts. The staff (soldiers) looked bored most of the time, sitting round on their phones. The bloke in the gate was sharp, saluting people as they entered and exited. It's dirt cheap, at 40,000 VND which is around £1.60. Give it a go.

    Only $2 and plenty of things to see and learn. The whole military history of Vietnam can be found here. There are 3 buildings to explore. There are plenty of military vehicles from planes, helicopters, guns, and more. There's also the Hanoi tower and a nice cafe where you can relax to eat and drink during the break period of the museum.

  • 5/5 Leila L. 3 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    A definite must see while in Hanoi. But only if you care about the history! Very interesting to learn about wars and the past through a communist countries lens. It’s pretty cheap to get in, and there’s a coffee shop nearby! But they close between 11:30 and 1! Our favourite part was reading the signs under the weapon displays it would have a dagger that told you how many people it killed - it was very different. One warning, the translation to English isn’t always the best, so go open minded.

    The Vietnam Military History Museum was vast and showed the history of the conflicts that the Vietnamese have been involved with, not just the Vietnam war. In the courtyard of the museum, there were old USA planes that were shot down during conflict, along with tanks that the military used during battle. Outside you, you may also climb nearly to the top of the Flag Tower of Hanoi. Inside the museum, you were able to see smaller weapons and artifacts, along with pictures taken during the wars. I enjoyed my visit to the museum, it was extremely interesting to see the war from another view point.

  • 5/5 Pratik G. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the places you can't miss in Hanoi, and situated almost next to the UNESCO site ICTL ( review separately available ), the Military History Museum is full of war paraphernalia including i.a. arrows, guns, and knives. This history related to these weapons ( and it's characteristics ) is adequately explained, both in English and the local language, and one can also find references to the Vietnam ( or American ) War here. At the entrance, there is a big and old Soviet jet as well as a tank kept on display, and as one goes ahead there are samples of bombs of various sizes kept apart from the bomb releasing machines, which were used during the war, and some of which were unearthed later in the century at various places across the country. Do note that the Museum is closed on Mon and Fri, and also during 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. I couldn't get the time to see the second building. This is also the only entry point to the Flag Tower. If one loves museums, it's unlikely that the whole museum can be seen in one visit, and will likely require two visits given the time constraints. The museum should consider remaining open till 6 pm ( as opposed to 4:30 pm currently ) or so and/or not closing for the mid-duration of 2hrs. The entry fee is VND 40,000, and there is a coffee machine near the entry and also a restaurant inside.

    Very informative. A lot of exhibits to view and a lot of stairs. It was interesting as a Kiwi/Aussie seeing things from the Vietnamese perspective . Like most places like this in Asia they have staff situated around the exhibits and a heavy military/police presence. Definitely worth a visit

    You'll need ALL DAY to get the most from this place. It's a LOT to see. It's the entire history of Vietnam, as told through the various conflicts and wars that have affected the country. Way more than the Vietnam War, covers absolutely everything. For me, it's a must see place if you're in Hanoi. It closes middle of the day though so either go in the morning or afternoon.

    Some exhibits were eye opening, but mostly underwhelming. Thought I was going to see some tanks and walk in fox holes or trenches. But there wasn't any exhibits to I tract with. It's a lot of reading small texts and looking at artifacts (if they have it). Cool sculptures and fascinating exhibits, just wish there was more things to interact with and a souvenir shop to at least get some books.

    It’s a good museum and quite different from the one in Saigon. There are more physical exhibits here than Saigon. It’s set out well, however once again you need to be aware of the communist distortion of facts and misleading photograph interpretation. Unless you know something about this war you could walk away from here with a head packed full of lies and propaganda. Worth the visit though. 40000 dong entry fee.

    The museum is very small, but modern and well finished. There are displays of fossils, some stuffed animals, including quite a few insects, on display. There was a kind of large interactive display that was not working during my visit. All in all, not bad for a quick visit if you're in the area. It's free to get in, and kind of nice that it exists at all.

    Disclaimer - I am personally not a huge fan of museums. The display of military equipment and vehicles collected throughout history is certainly an eye-opener. It's also helpful that they organised the significant timelines and events in different buildings for ease of reference. However, most of the narrative and words were lost in translation or only written in vietnamese which made appreciating the timeline a challenge. Exhibits were otherwise pretty well maintained and ticket price was very reasonable. Ill recommend spending a maximum of 1-2h here and to leave when nature calls to avoid using the toilets in this place.

    Military Meusem *Ride* book a GRAB (local taxi app). One can also explore local bus service but needs to be well versed on their bus numbers and timings. *Entry fee* 10-15k VND per person *Timings* 8 am to 5 pm x 7 days *Inside* the entire freedom struggle of Vietnam right from 4 century till independence in 1975 to include struggle from Chinese, French and finally Americans in 1975 and their progress until now. Various weapons, equipments, aircrafts, guns, artifacts, documents, pictures etc. The Meusem might not be interesting for kid's or many of adults. Might be interesting for only those who has gone through their struggle via books or documentaries. *Shops/restaurants* no shops to buy any stuff but a small Cafe is there.

    So as an American, I thought this was really interesting. I really enjoy seeing history written from a different side. If you’re looking for a European style museum, this isn’t really it. If you’re here for some type of war tourism and seeing a bunch of weapons and things like that, like you would see at the World War II museum in Europe, you will definitely be disappointed. They have some vehicles outside and a crashed airplane and some bombs and things like that. The real gem is in the text and literature here. It’s kind of a mix of communist propaganda the way it is written but it’s also really understandable from their point of view. They had a lot of exhibits regarding famous in Vietnamese generals and their accomplishments, which I loved seeing. America wasn’t the only country with “heros” so to speak. The place isn’t really big it might take you 45 minutes to walk through. I forget what the entry was, but it was about two dollars. Go see it. you don’t have anything to lose and it’s interesting to see history written from a different perspective

    It’s fine for the price paid but you don’t get much of a story, it’s a lot of bits and pieces laid out in different rooms in different buildings. I think if there was more of story and flow to the place then it would be more interesting to digest. Also if you want to bring a camera in (not including phones of course) it’s extra. Not quite sure what justifies the extra cost though.

    I liked this war/history museum better than the ones in Saigon. The exhibit started out going over the early 50BC era and gives a brief history of all the key changes of power in vietnam all the way to the modern era. This museum gave a very detailed history of the french colonisation of vietnam and and went slighlty less into detail of the US war (compared to the war museum in Saigon). Then there was an art gallery filled with modern art depicting historical moments. Overall a museum worth going to if you're in Hanoi.

    Big museum featuring Vietnam's war history from ancient times to today. Many relics are displayed outside and inside. Most of the signs have English, but the audiovisuals are in Vietnamese only. Unfortunately, the last exhibit featuring the history from 1975-2011 is quite remote (at the back of the complex) and was closed during my visit.

    Not as good as the similar museum in HCMC. In fairness, all the outside exhibits had been relocated somewhere else. The building assembly with separate rooms, floors and buildings has an awkward flow. Looking forward to when it is completely moved to the new location.

    If you are in Hanoi and have small boys you absolutely should visit. I recommend the walking tour by starting at the John McCain Memorial, then heading to the B-52 lake and finally over here to the Museum. Lots to see and explore. The pre Vietnam War exhibits opened up a history I was not aware of and found fascinating. I recommend you pay for admission but skip the "camera" pass. Nobody checks and everyone is snapping photos anyway.

    We went here to look a the flag tower and didn’t realise there was a whole museum attached but we were pleasantly surprised. There are so many exhibits to look at including a few fighter jets and a chinook which were really interesting. They have created a brilliant display made up of wreckages of American and french planes that had been downed during conflicts. There is so much information and the museum is really well laid out. It’s really worth a visit and you could spend hours here. There is also then the flag tower which you can climb the base of which gives an awesome view of the exhibits and the citadel.

    Really impressive! Especially all the planes and war machines, you can have a look at on the outside! Don’t miss out the big tanks and some other machines, you can enter at the very end of the museum if you just walk straight till the end. There is also a first floor with more things to visit! Also exhibition about postwar actions and military nowadays. You can spend a lot of time there, to learn about the WHOLE war history of Korea!:) Entrance ticket for 40k. There’s a lot to see and normally it would take 2 hours to get through:) Toilets are available and lockers for the bags as well.

    A popular tourist attraction for locals and foreign tourists. The museum is mainly about the Vietnam-USA war. It includes life size aircrafts, helicopter and tanks from both sides. The flag tower is within the compound of the museum. Minimum recommanded spending time is about two hours.

    A rather small but quite interesting museum where your kids (and of course yourself) can learn about the nature of species. A great deal of information about animals are packed in such a tiny space. My kid and I loved it there. Although the location is not the best (the museum is inside of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), the place is covered in green...you'll find it so refreshing walking into such quiet place where birds singing from branches of the tall trees.

    Takes about 5min. There aren’t any English subtitles. Also, there’s a SUPER racist classification of homo Sapiens, which really makes you question the validity of the museum

  • 3/5 DUC N. 4 years ago on Google
    It s a small gallery stuck in the middle of the National Academy of Science. Don't expect it to be a huge museum. It a more like a small hall to display the artifacts collected around Vietnam. It is great for my 20-month old baby to see the life-size tiger, bear, monkey,...but it s not really fun for adults due to the minimal amounts of artifacts and information. We was kinda shock realizing how small it is consider the huge building. It took us 10 minutes to walk from the gate to the museum and it takes us roughly 15 minutes to go through all the sections.

This place is free to visit, the restroom is clean. There is only 1 floor, warm feeling is very good. Biological specimens are displayed in each period and place. Look at the corals really enjoyed. I know the names of many trees I meet but I don't know the names of every day.

    (Translated by Google) The museum should expand in terms of scale. Entrance gate from 18b royal Vietnamese. Go straight, turn left, pass the college of technology. I personally like the museums to expand and expand. However, with such a small space, it will not be fully explored. Even if you open up with a ticket, it is still worth the experience, especially for children to expand their knowledge. The land in this area is spacious, but leaving for nothing is a waste. Give 3sao because of the desire to expand. The inside is clean. (Original) Bảo tàng nên phát triển mở rộng về mặt quy mô hơn. Cổng đi vào từ 18b hoàng quốc việt. Đi thẳng, rẽ trái, qua đại học công nghệ là tới. Bản thân rất thích những bảo tàng ntn phát triển mở rộng. Tuy nhiên với không gian quá nhỏ như vậy sẽ chưa khám phá đc đầy đủ. Dù kể cả mở rộng có thu vé thì vẫn đáng để trải nghiệm, nhất là cho các bé mở mang kiến thức. Đất trong khu này răt rộng rãi mà để không thì rất phí. Cho 3sao vì mong mỏi mở rộng hơn. Bên trong thì sạch sẽ.

  • 5/5 John G. 4 years ago on Google
    A fascinating place for people who want to know more about the military history of Vietnam. War history buffs such as myself will definitely enjoy looking at the plethora of military artifacts, exhibits, and vehicles on display at the museum. Each exhibit is usually accompanied by a plaque or caption (for photos) that goes into detail about the said exhibit. The flag tower of Hanoi is also located within the compound. The price of an entrance ticket is 40,000 VND/person (accurate at the time of this review)

  • 4/5 Nick K. 4 years ago on Google
    This was just okay. It W had a cheap entrance fee so it is worth the visit if you're passing by. There isn't much info about the history. This is more for the pictures than it is for the knowledge.

  • 5/5 Nathalie A. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best museums. You can see so much things about the war on Vietnam. We came here at 16h although it closes at 16h30. They didn’t want let in but I negotiated to let us in, because I thought that 30 minutes would be enough for visiting the museum. We saw everything in a rush. You can spend at least 1 hour here with seeing everything inside and outside. Really, I recommend this museum. It costs 40k dong.

  • 5/5 R B. 4 years ago on Google
    The museum is a great collection of military hardware and historical information during the French and American occupations. But also at the beginning of the museum is a small room dedicated to historic battles and leaders dating back to over a 1000 years ago. The material outside is extremely impressive with a statue and memorial to all the planes that were shot down around Hanoi. The statue is made from all pieces of planes shot down. Lots of American pieces...lol. An extremely informative museum. Another great visit in Hanoi.

  • 5/5 Esmé T. 1 year ago on Google
    The museum is large with 4/5 floors of exhibits covering tradition, heroic women figures, motherhood, women centered religion, fashion and more. It had a good balance of written information and physical exhibits as well as art by students displayed in the reception. You need 2 hours to really get the most out of what is on display but if you just want to learn about a certain thing / aren’t too into museums - an hour is fine.

You can have a nice view from the monument also ... We spent there over two hours packed with information and watching exhibitions. Ticket is 40K VND but it is definitely worth it. Recommend to visit.

    Vietnam is a country with a large war history. Mongol, China, France and US. From the 1200 to the 1900. The museum tried to show you weapons, clothes, historical documents of those moments. Understanding Vietnam is understanding its wars.

    Im not a fan of war museums, so i did not enjoy the museum. I like the outdoor display and the old lookout tower at the museum grounds. The ancient war part of the museum is ok also... although it was just a small part of the museum. For a VND 30,000 entrance, its not too bad if you like those war exhibits

  • 5/5 Noviana S. 1 year ago on Google

    Nice assortment of Vietnamese military history on display ranging from ancient, French occultation and the war with the US. It’s a good way to kill 30 minutes if you’re on this side of town.

    It shows the history of us Vietnam war .. all it's artifacts ..history brilliantly displayed.. If you have a interest for history you can definitely visit it . It has the planes.. helicopters that vietnamese liberation army captured from us military. It is also near to the flag tower which is basically like a fort . The entry ticket is 40000 vnd per person.

    Presents more or less interesting pieces of the Vietnamese military history. I particularly liked the part which shows how other nations (mostly communists, haha) supported Vietnam during the war. The outdoor part has also interesting objects: both USSR and USA helicopters and fighter jets bit some of them (e.g. CH-47 Chinook) are unfortunately squeezed into the backyard.

    At first, i think we can access to this museum via the same gate with the palace but cannot. A lot of stories about Vietnam military here also have a short show which tell us about the history of the war. This place is a bit old should renovate some part.

  • 4/5 Mark R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Vietnam Military History Museum celebrates the country's military victories through history, particularly the French colonials and later the United States aggressors. It depicts the versions of history approved by the Communist government, but it's fascinating to see the biases of historical depiction from the 'other' side as opposed to the western viewpoint. But, whatever your view of history, the museum is full of interesting exhibits, and is well worth a visit.

  • 2/5 Insta- M. 9 months ago on Google
    The museum offers affordable admission for its entree, but unfortunately, there isn't much to explore inside. We were informed that a majority of the museum's exhibits have been relocated to a new venue. However, visitors can still enjoy viewing the tower, as well as a small collection of planes and cars.

  • 5/5 Anand OHara (. 7 months ago on Google
    I’m going with 5 stars.. it’s the battle history of the Viet you need to know. Must have time to pieces it all together, but there’s enough English on signs to make a story. You can really put your hands on a heavy machine gun, etc (how often to you get to do that?) there’s a sense of celebrating a tough victory, well deserved; and there’s a café near.
