Additionally, QR codes provide access to information and images regarding artifacts, alongside more than 60 video clips introducing military campaigns, battles, and historical figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The museum complex is distinguished by its forecourt and the 45-meter-tall Victory Tower, alongside a main building comprising four upper floors and a ground floor. The outdoor area to the right displays weaponry and equipment used by French and US forces during the war in Vietnam, including artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks. The area to the left showcases weaponry and equipment used by the Vietnamese military and people. The main hall features a MiG-21 fighter jet\u2014nicknamed “Silver Swallow” and bearing the tail number 4324\u2014suspended from the ceiling by cables. This display arrangement creates the impression of the aircraft taking off to defend the skies. The jet was officially designated a National Treasure on January 14, 2015. Nearby, a large LED screen showcases the beauty, history, culture, and traditions of Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first floor of the Vietnam Military History Museum is organized into six thematic sections: Theme 1: The early days of nation-building and defense; Theme 2: Defending independence (939\u20131858); Theme 3: Resisting French colonialism and striving for national independence (1858\u20131945); Theme 4: The resistance war against French colonial aggression (1945\u20131954); Theme 5: The resistance war against the US (1954\u20131975); and Theme 6: National construction and defense (1976\u2013present).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the fourth section, alongside actual artifacts, there are vivid, life-sized (1:1 scale) dioramas. These models recreate the atmosphere of Hanoi\u2019s streets during the 60-day-and-night battle to defend the capital. The themes are arranged chronologically with a logical layout. Each artifact is accompanied by detailed captions and contextual information regarding the associated events. The exhibits also employ diverse presentation methods, including text, images, and interactive information screens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
