This museum, housed in a magnificent and large two-story white building, is the most popular museum in Hanoi for tourists. Throughout this museum, you will learn about the history of warfare in Vietnam from the 1930s to today, focusing mainly on the French and American eras ('50s-'70s). There are weapons, tanks, photographs, and many gifts from countries supporting North Vietnam during the wars. There is also one great hall filled with dioramas displaying various battle scenes. Outside of the building we saw a MiG 21 fighter jet, anti-aircraft guns, plus wreckage from several American and French planes piled against a tree. I noticed debris of one US Navy airplane had he name LT Greene painted under the canopy; I wonder what became of him after he was shot down? Lenin Park, with a statue of Vladimir Lenin, is across the street from the Army Museum. Leave a Comment Address: 28a Dien Bien Phu
