National Museum of Vietnamese History
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Museum of Vietnamese History (Vietnamese: Viện Bảo tàng Lịch sử Việt Nam) is located in the Hoan Kiem district of Hanoi, Vietnam.
The museum used to be the museum of the Research Institute for Far-East history under French colonial rule (École française d'Extrême-Orient). Today, it is a museum showcasing Vietnam's history with a very large display of every period. It is housed in a colonial French building. The building, designed by the architect Ernest Hébrard is considered as a successful blend between the colonial French architecture and traditional Vietnamese architecture.
