Hanoi Museum, a museum dedicated to Hanoi's history, has opened in Vietnam.

The 30,000sq m museum is located in a specially laid out park with water features, exhibits from the history of Hanoi, and a reconstructed traditional Vietnamese village.

The museum is next to the National Convention Center, opened for the APC Summit in 2006, which, like the Vietnamese Ministry of the Interior and the national parliament in Hanoi, were designed by architects von Gerkan, Marg und Partner (GMP) and planned in cooperation with INROS LACKNER.

GMP won the international competition for Hanoi Museum in 2005. Planning and construction took two years, beginning in 2008.

The museum features three floors of exhibition space, but the fourth floor also contains conference rooms, research rooms, offices and the library.
