In December 1954, two months after it took over Hà Nội from the French, the revolutionary Government decided to build the Museum of Revolution. Objects were collected throughout the North, and on 6th January 1959, Việt Nam’s Museum of Revolution was officially opened.
The museum used to be the Service of Trade whose front side is on Trần Quang Khải Street, and back side on Tông Đản Street. The former building was turned into 29 rooms for displaying over 40,000 objects. The first room is dedicated to a general introduction of the country and people of Việt Nam while the last room displays the evidence of the solidarity between Việt Nam and the world.
The rest of the museum is designed for displaying the objects related to the Vietnamese’s struggle against French colonialism, Japanese fascism, and American imperialism from the mid-19th century until 1975.
The collection includes the memorabilia on the revolutionary career of Uncle HỒ and other revolutionaries; the Communist Party’s magazines and newspapers, including the rare and valuable publications of the period between 1920 and 1945; the country’s different flags, including the Party’s flag in 1930, the red flag with a yellow star in 1941; weapons, including the knives used'by the Nghệ An Red Guard in 1930, the rifles used by the Bắc Sơn guerillas in 1941, the crossbows used by the people in Trà Bồng (Quảng Ngãi province) during their insurrection in 1958, and a rocket pad used to down US B52 bombers in Hà Nội in December 1972.

Museum Of History
Situated at No.l Phạm Ngũ Lão Street, behind the Hà Nội Opera House, this museum was originally the museum of the école Française d’Extreme Orient, which was founded in 1932 by the French. At that time, the museum exhibited a collection of antiques collected throughout Southeast Asia.
In 1958, the French handed over this building to Việt Nam, and it became the National Museum of History. After many times of repair and up gradation, the museum has become an important cultural organ, a center for historical studies and exhibition of artifacts.
Both floors of the museum are reserved for thou-sands of artifacts displayed in the order of antiquity. The Stone Age section contains stone tools and instruments for hunting and fighting, evidence of the presence of pre-historic people in Việt Nam. The stone hand axes chipped three to four hundred thousand years ago, which were unearthed at Đọ mountain in Thanh Hoá province, prove that Việt Nam is one of the ancient cradles of humans.
The Bronze Age section of the museum is famous for its bronze drums, the most notable of which is the majestic and beautiful Ngọc Lũ drum. Many studies have been made on its sculpture, use, and manufacturing technology, etc. Also on exhibit are bronze axes, javelin blades, daggers, spears, and other bronze weapons made during the Hùng Kings. The thin and thorny CỔ Loa bronze arrows displayed here used to frighten the northern invaders in the 2nd century BC so much that they were called magical arrows.
Over the past 2,000 years, Việt Nam has had a history of continuous struggle against foreign invaders. The museum’s many photographs of Việt Nam’s pagodas, temples, fortresses, grave sites, personages and famous generals, and many important documents, well known sayings, and original artifacts all attest to the indomitable spirit of the nation.
Visiting the Vietnam Museum of History, one can learn the history of national building and defence of the Vietnamese people.

President Ho Chi Minh’s Residence
In a large garden of trees, lie a park, at the back of the Presidential Palace, there is nice gravel covered road with mango trees on both sides, which leads to a small simple house-on-stilts. The house has a hibiscus fence and an “arched” gate made of trees. There, visitors can see two coconut trees: one was presented by the overseas Vietnamese in Thailand and the other, double-trunk, by the population of (former) Vĩnh Phú province. This is where President Hồ Chí Minh lived and worked from 17th May 1958 till he passed away.
The perfume of jasmine and dog-rose plants in the garden in front of the house is pervasive. At the back is a garden of fruit trees. The luxuriant star- apple tree presented to the President by his Southern compatriots in 1954 stands between two lines of Hải Dương orange trees bearing plenty of fruit. Hundreds of species of valuable trees of more than 30 families supplied by the (former) Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Forestry and different localities give the site some welcome shade. They include local specialties: grape fruit from Phúc Trạch, Thanh Hóa, Biên Hòa and Mê Linh; orange from Xuân Mai, Vân Du, Xã Đoài, Sông Con, mandarine from Hương Cần and Lý Nhân; apple from Thiện Phiến, Ngọc Hồ; twin-apricot from Đồng Mỹ; persimmon from Tiên Điền, etc.
There are also species imported from foreign countries, such as the 11 ngâu flower trees growing near the house, the 5 bald cypress trees found around the pond, the 26 areca trees imported from the Caribbean, and some special kinds of bamboo, etc.
The ground-floor of the house-on-stilts is where President HỒ met with the Politburo. There are 12 chaừs around a large table, three telephones and a soldier’s iron helmet that the President used to wear throughout the us war of destruction against North Viet Nam. There are two small rooms upstairs: one was used as cabinet and one bedroom. A single wooden bed occupies half of the bedroom. Next to it is a small wooden table, where the book The Resistance War against the Yuans is placed. At the door of the house there is a bronze bell which was used to notify of the arrival of a guest at the house.
The President’s personal belongings, among other things, include two fans: one made of a paper and the other palm leaves; a small thermos, a bottle of drinking water, a glass, an anti-mosquito bamboo brush, a radio presented to him by the overseas Vietnamese in Thailand, an electric fan presented by the Japanese Communist Party.
From the house-on-stilts, you can see a fish raising pond. When you clap your hands, fish emerge to the surface of water.
Dozens of varieties of beautiful orchid are hung on terminally trees (shade tree), blossoming throughout the year.

President Hồ Chí Minh’s Mausoleum
The construction of this project was formally started on 2nd September 1973 and finished on 21st August 1978. The Mausoleum stands on the place of the former platform in the middle of the Ba Đình Square. It is the place at which, for decades, Uncle HỒ had chaired great meetings.
The Mausoleum is a three-storied structure with the total height of 21.6m. The lowest part, a three- tier structure, is designed for the Presidiums of meetings. The middle part, the center of the whole structure, is composed of a room where the
President’s body is kept, and corridors and stairs. Each of the four sides of the Mausoleum is decorated with a row of five square granite columns. It reminds us of the traditional five-compartment house of the Vietnamese people in the countryside. The top part is the Mausoleum’s roof which is also a three-tier structure.
On the front site, there are the words “Chủ Tịch Hồ Chí Minh” (President Ho Chi Minh) made of deep red ruby.
Entering the foyer, visitors can see on the front dark red granite wall the famous phrase of President Hổ Chí Minh “Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom”. Below it is the author’s signature. One stair leads to the room where the glass coffin of the President is kept. There are, on the white stone wall, the Party’s and national flags. The entrances from three sides allow many people to pay homage to the President conveniently.
The Mausoleum manifests the boundless respect and gratitude of the Vietnamese people towards their great leader.
