Ho Chi Minh Museum located at 19 Ngoc Ha, Doi Can Ward (Ba Dinh District, Hanoi ) is a place to preserve and display many valuable artifacts and documents about the life of President Ho Chi Minh - the beloved father, the great leader of the Vietnamese people.
The Ho Chi Minh Museum building is symbolized by a white lotus, nearly 20 meters high, with 3 floors. The first floor has offices for museum staff, resting areas and public services for visitors.
The Ho Chi Minh Museum began construction on August 31, 1985 and was completed on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Uncle Ho's birth (May 19, 1990). The museum attracts a large number of tourists to visit and learn about Uncle Ho's life.
These days, every day the Ho Chi Minh Museum welcomes thousands of visitors to visit and learn about Uncle Ho's life, the significance of the August Revolution of 1945 and the day President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945.

"We visited the Ho Chi Minh Museum to better understand the history of the nation and Uncle Ho's life," Tran Anh Minh shared.
The founding ceremony of the Vietnam Propaganda and Liberation Army on December 22, 1944, was held in the forest between the two communes of Tran Hung Dao and Hoang Hoa Tham (now Tam Kim commune, Nguyen Binh district, Cao Bang province). This was the first main force of the revolutionary armed forces and the predecessor of the Vietnam People's Army today.
When it was first established, the Vietnam Propaganda Liberation Army had only 34 officers and soldiers, but it soon brought into play the nation's tradition of fighting against foreign invaders and the military art of using the few to fight the many, and using the small to win the big. Right from its first campaign, the first regular army of Vietnam achieved resounding victories, liberating large areas as bases for activities to fight for independence.
