The National History Museum is a cultural building located in the center of Hanoi near many monuments of the capital. The museum was created in 2011 under the merger of the Vietnamese History Museum and the Vietnam Revolution Museum. The museum presents Vietnamese history from prehistoric times to present through a system of documents and precious objects, many of which are national treasures. The National History Museum has two permanent exhibition places at two addresses. 1. Trang Tien Street, showing Vietnamese history from prehistoric times until the end of the Nguyen dynasty in 1945. 2. 16 Tien Quang Khai Street, presenting the history of Vietnam from the mid-19th century to the present. The building of No. 1 Trang Tien, formerly Vietnam History Museum, was inaugurated in 1932. The building at No. 2, 16 Tien Quang Khai Street, formerly Vietnam Revolution Museum, was built in 1917 as the headquarters of the trading department of Indochina. After five years of renovation, the museum was officially opened to visitors on 6 January 1959.
