The Vietnam Museum of Military History is being built on Thang Long Boulevard in Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi, with an investment of VND2.5 trillion (US$101 million).
It is a special project of the Vietnam People's Army. Work on the museum began in 2020 on more than 74 hectares. The first phase is scheduled for completion in June.

The 45-meter Chien Thang Tower, a symbol of Vietnam's independence in 1945, will stand in the center of the square. |
A 36-meter building with five floors, one of which is partially underground, houses the main exhibition area.

Among the first relics brought to the museum is a MiG-21 piloted by Pham Tuan, who shot down B-52 bombers during the air raids on Hanoi on December 27, 1972. |
The museum is expected to be completed and open to the public by the end of this year. |
