It is like a miniature museum with more than 1,500 artifacts donated by more than 255 veterans.

The artifacts of veterans in Phu Tho province are valuable and humanistic resources that have important implications for the traditional educational propaganda for the young generation today and tomorrow.
This is a timely supplementary source of artifacts to the missing parts of the exhibition to introduce to visitors, increasing the source of war artifacts, diverse types of artifacts at the museum.
