Exhibition displays 300 artefacts of Dien Bien Phu Campaign

The thematic exhibition named "Dien Bien Phu Victory - An Eternal Epic" showcases some documentaries and artefacts for the first time to the public about Dien Bien Phu Campaign.

The exhibition aims to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954 - 2024), which ended nine years of the resistance war against French colonialists.

The exhibition introduces to the public the bold imprints of the strategic decisive campaign that created the Dien Bien Phu Victory, which “resounded throughout the five continents and shook the globe.”

It showcases 300 documentaries and artefacts divided into three parts, namely Road to Dien Bien Phu; Dien Bien Phu - The Decisive Strategic Battle; The Pride of Dien Bien.

“Through the exhibition, the visitors can learn about the outstanding maturity of the Vietnam People's Army. From 34 soldiers with rudimentary weapons on the day of establishment on December 22, 1944, under the leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, our army has continuously grown stronger," said Vu Manh Ha, director of the Ho Chi Minh Museum.

The exhibition depicts many new photos, documents and artefacts that have been collected and put on display for the first time. The museum introduces many valuable artefacts, such as the hat and parachute hammock that President Ho Chi Minh used in the Viet Bac war zone.

The exhibition opens to the public until October 20 at Ho Chi Minh Museum, 19 Ngoc Ha street, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi.
