The museum’s Director Senior Colonel Le Vu Huy said the institution has evolved from the Army Museum Construction Committee into one of Vietnam’s leading cultural institutions and a key agency supporting Party and political work in the military.
Over the past seven decades, generations of museum staff have collected and preserved invaluable artifacts that document Vietnam’s struggle for independence and the development of the Vietnam People’s Army. Beyond their historical and artistic value, these collections help promote patriotism, preserve national memory, and educate future generations.
