Military History Museum inaugurated
VGP - On the morning of November 1, thousands of people visited the new Military History Museum in Nam Tu Liem District, Ha Noi, on its inaugural day.
The outdoor area of the new Military History Museum
The museum is a four-story building with a basement, covering a floor area of 23,198 square meters. Inside, more than 150,000 artifacts and four national treasures are displayed.
The outdoor area is divided into two sections showcasing weapons and military equipment, including 85mm cannons, 57mm anti-aircraft guns, PT67 tanks with serial number 555, a MiG 17 fighter jet with serial number 2047, and an SU22 aircraft.
Tank 843 entered the grounds of the Independence Palace on April 30, 1975
One of the highlights is Tank 843. During the war against the U.S., this tank played a critical role in the liberation of Hue and Da Nang and was part of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign.
On April 30, 1975, Tank 843 led the charge into Saigon, destroying three enemy tanks and ramming through the secondary gate of the Independence Palace, marking an end to the war.
An interactive 3D model of the Dien Bien Phu campaign combines film, sound, and light effects to recreate the sight of French planes dropping supplies over Dien Bien City, and artillery exchanges between the opposing forces.
Innovative display methods, including 3D mapping technology, searchable screens, media archives, automatic audio guides, and QR codes for information access, enrich the experience. Over 60 videos on campaigns, battles, and historical figures provide a new level of engagement for visitors.
For those planning a visit, there are several bus routes service to the museum, including routes 71B, 74, 87, 88, 107, 157, E05, E07, and E09.
Despite its location over 20 km from central Ha Noi and opening on a weekday, the museum attracted a large turnout, including early morning arrivals./.
