The Dien Bien Phu Historical Victory Museum was built in 2012 and inaugurated in 2014 on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory. This is a modern architectural project; the exterior is designed in the shape of a bamboo hat covered with camouflage netting along with a system of concrete and steel bars forming a diamond shape symbolizing the defensive shirt of the Dien Bien soldiers in the past.

Many tourists from all over the country came to visit the Museum in March this year.

From early morning, visitors lined up to wait their turn to visit and admire the Panorama painting of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign painted on the 2nd floor of the Museum.

The Panorama of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign is divided into four historical stages according to the theme: The whole people go to battle; The heroic prelude; The historic confrontation; The Dien Bien Phu victory.

This monumental work covers an area of ^3,250m2 , is made of oil paint, and has the contribution of nearly 100 artists, completed within 2 and a half years, showing the grandeur in the history of the struggle to protect the Fatherland of the Vietnamese army and people, typically the Dien Bien Phu Campaign. Artist Nguyen Van Mac is the person in charge of making this Panorama painting.

Mr. Truong Son (Hanoi) shared: "In my mind, the Museum is just a place to display historical artifacts. I was really surprised because history was recreated so realistically on this giant painting. This is truly a new destination not to be missed when traveling to Dien Bien."

The tour guide leads the viewer to each segment of the painting. In the picture is the first segment “The whole people go to war” with images of groups of people and soldiers carrying goods, climbing mountains and wading through streams to provide food for the front line.

According to statistics, in the first week of March alone, the number of tourists visiting the Dien Bien Phu Historical Victory Museum reached nearly 2,000 and will continue to increase sharply in the coming time.

Among the visitors were former veterans.

Everyone wants to keep a souvenir photo with the historical Panorama painting.

"When I look at the painting, I imagine myself living in the heroic atmosphere of our ancestors in the Dien Bien Phu campaign. I feel more deeply about the victory and the losses and sacrifices of our ancestors so that we can have a peaceful life today" - Mr. Toan, a tourist from Hai Phong shared.
