Hanoi Museum

The Hanoi Museum is the newest museum in the city. It was inaugurated in 2010 as part of the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of Hanoi, famous for its rich history and traditions. Its structure, shaped like an inverted pyramid, represents the most ambitious museum project in the country. The total area of the building is about 54 thousand square meters.

Expositions are located on a round atrium consisting of four levels. The first to third floors are used exclusively for exhibition purposes. The museum contains extensive collections, including more than 50 thousand exhibits and displaying the centuries-old history of Hanoi. There are unique exhibitions of traditional and modern art, crafts, clothing and household items. Part of the exhibition is the reconstruction of a traditional Vietnamese village, presented at the entrance to the museum. An important place is occupied by the collection of the history of the revolution, covering the period of the French and American occupation.

The fourth floor includes a small library and conference rooms. The Hanoi Museum is a landmark of the city and is very popular among tourists.
