This remarkable building has a cantilevered design that makes it resemble an upside-down pyramid. The overall effect is that the museum almost appears to be floating above the ground.
A massive central atrium with a spiral ramp in the center allows visitors to easily access all four stories.
The Hanoi Museum contains more than a millenium of history through its artifacts, showcasing more than 50,000 of them in its over 320,000 square feet of gallery space.
Completed in 2010, the museum’s purpose is to bring Vietnam’s culture and heritage to life—and look good doing it.
