The museum has a modern, multi-functional, architectural design, not simply a display of war history but also creates a common space for visitors to interact and experience the struggle for national independence of the heroic Vietnam People's Army.

The highlight in front of the museum is the 45m high Victory Tower, symbolizing the year the country gained independence in 1945. The main exhibition space of the museum is a 35.8m high building, consisting of 4 floors above ground and one basement floor.

The Vietnam Military History Museum is preserving and displaying more than 150,000 artifacts. Among them, there are 4 national treasures including 2 MiG-21 aircrafts numbered 4324 and 5121, T54B tank numbered 843 and a map of determination to fight in the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign.

Artifacts of aircraft, tanks and many large weapons captured during the resistance wars, associated with many important historical events and figures, will be displayed in two areas next to the square, covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters.

The exhibition space inside the museum on the first floor is divided into 6 themes, arranged in chronological order and with a reasonable layout. The artifacts are all specifically annotated, attached with event information. The types of display are very diverse, including text, information lookup screens, photo media, automatic audio guide commentary and QR codes to look up information about artifacts and images.
