The 7,000 square meter museum displays models, materials and artifacts featuring the nine-year long campaign to the Dien Bien Phu victory that ended the French colonial rule in Biet Nam.

Over 1,000 artifacts are exhibited in five sections, including a summary on the campaign, Dien Bien Phu campaign, international support to the campaign, the victory’s influences and an honor room.
 

Addressing the launch ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam emphasized that the museum is significant to helping Vietnamese and international communities further understand the nation’s glorious period.

He reviewed heroic contributions and tradition which made a world-shaken victory.

The museum should continue to supplement artifacts to better educate younger generations about the tradition and help international friends further understand about a brave nation and its sacrifice.

Deputy PM Dam was also present at the inauguration of a press center to facilitate coverage of the anniversary and Dien Bien province’s socio-economic development.
