This is a beautiful museum with modern and unique architecture and a cultural wonder of the capital city and the nation, he said.
At the ceremony, the National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong said the museum’s managers should classify antiques quickly, tap the museum’s potential in research activities and introduce local and international visitors to Vietnam’s history, and Thang Long – Hanoi.
