via Vietnam Net, 18 February 2023: A history of the Vietnam National Museum of History.
The Vietnam National Museum of History stands as the top historical museums in the country with the most objects, including 110,000 documents and antiques dated back from the prehistoric time to 1945.
Strolling in downtown Hanoi, people can easily find many vestiges of the French colonial era. Prominent among them are spacious private villas in Phan Dinh Phung, Tran Hung Dao and Ly Thuong Kiet streets, the Opera House, Metropole Hotel, the Government Guest House, the State Bank, St Joseph Cathedral, the Presidential Palace and the Long Bien Bridge.
It’s impossible to not mention the main building of the Vietnam National Museum of History, which used to be the Louis Finot Museum of the French School of the Far East (or EFEO in French acronym). The museum building is commonly called “Nhà Bác Cổ” (Archaeological House) by Hanoians.
