Vietnam National Museum of History

Known as the oldest of its kind in Vietnam, the Vietnam History Museum was built in 1926 under the name Louis Finot Museum by the Ecole Française d’Extreme-Orient and finished in 1932. The museum changed its name after being taken over by the Vietnamese Government and opened to the public on 3 September 1958.

There are more than 7,000 preserved precious objects, some aged thousand years old which represent the cultural diversity of the country.
