Vietnam Military History Museum

The Vietnam Military History Museum is definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in Hanoi. It is really interesting to see the war from a Vietnamese perspective, having been brought up on the US or Australia’s. We arrived in Hanoi towards the end of our Vietnam trip, so we’d come to not expect a guided tour in a place like this. It is old, the planes are old, but it’s really, really bloody cool that you can get up so close, and even inside, some of the planes.

Sculpture like piece, made out of parts of planes and tanks. Little bit spooky.

I really hope they’re not still live

Propaganda poster. I didn’t mind the simple design of it.
