Dien Bien Phu Historic Victory Exhibition Centre

Originally opened in 1984 and completely renovated in 2004 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the decisive battle, the Dien Bien Phu Historic Victory Exhibition Centre contains documents, photographs, weaponry and other military memorabilia relating to the historic victory of Dien Bien Phu,

together with a diorama of President Ho Chi Minh with General Vo Nguyen Giap, several battle scene dioramas and a large illuminated model of the surrounding Muong Thanh plain illustrating the course of the campaign with the aid of Vietnamese- and French-language soundtracks. Tanks and artillery are also on display outside in the museum grounds. By prior arrangement the museum can offer introductory talks in its small lecture theatre for groups of over five people.
