It was built in 2012 and inaugurated in 2014 on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory. The museum's architecture resembles the camouflaged hat of Vietnamese soldiers on the Dien Bien Phu battlefield. On the first floor, the museum houses over 1,000 keepsakes. They are a testament to the courage and determination of the Vietnamese military and civilians during the 56-day battle against the French to achieve the world-shaking victory.

A significant highlight inside the museum is a panorama painting on the second floor, wh𝕴ich depicts the entire Dien Bien Phu campaign. This massive oil painting on canvas stands 20.5 meters high, 132 meters long, and has a diameter of 42 meters, making it the largest in Southeast Asia and one of the three largest in the wor✱ld. It seamlessly portrays key battles of the campaign.

Today, the museum stands as a historical witness and a must-visit destination in Dien Bien province. Each artifact her🔯e serves as a bridge for younger generations who have not experienced war./.
