To date, the museum has welcomed over 200,000 visitors. On peak days, the number exceeds 45,000, posing challenges in visitor management, security, and preservation of the museum’s premises.
During the working session, participants discussed solutions to address these issues, including traffic operation on the Thang Long Highway, enhanced security patrols to ensure visitor safety, and the installation of protective barriers and signage to prevent climbing on exhibits. Additional equipment will also be deployed to handle emergencies promptly.
Sr. Lt. Gen. Trinh Van Quyet emphasized the significance of the museum’s popularity, noting its role as a vital educational space to promote Vietnam’s heroic traditions and the history of the Vietnam People's Army. The museum’s operations contribute to the preparations for the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam People’s Army, the 35th anniversary of the Whole-People Defense Festive Day, and the 80th anniversary of the foundation day of the GDP.
Anticipating a rise in visitors during the last two months of 2024, Gen. Quyet instructed the GDP’s Office to collaborate closely with the museum to develop comprehensive visitor reception plans. He emphasized the importance of ensuring safety of both visitors and exhibits, improving fire prevention and rescue measures as necessary, and assisting units in arranging military personnel visits.
Additionally, he instructed the GDP’s Department of Logistics to work with the project management board to expedite the completion of the museum’s infrastructure. Relevant agencies were tasked with providing continuous guidance to resolve difficulties and implement the project effectively.
