The exhibition aims to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Điện Biên Phủ 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 Điện Biên Phủ Victory, which “resounded throughout the five continents and shook the world.”
It showcases 300 documentaries and artefacts divided into three parts, namely Road to Điện Biên Phủ; Điện Biên Phủ - The Decisive Strategic Battle; The Pride of Điện Biên.
“Through the exhibition, the visitors can learn about the outstanding maturity of the Việt Nam 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 Hồ Chí Minh, our army has continuously grown stronger," said Vũ Mạnh Hà, director of Hồ Chí 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 Hồ Chí Minh used in the Việt Bắc war zone.
The exhibition opens to the public until October 20 at Hồ Chí Minh Museum, 19 Ngọc Hà Street, Ba Đình District, Hà Nội. VNS
