The Ton Duc Thang Museum was established to mark the 100th anniversary of President Ton Duc Thang's birth (August 20, 1888 -1988).
Over 32 years, the museum has faced many challenges, particularly regarding its infrastructure.
The new construction project of the Ton Duc Thang Museum was officially started on October 12, 2020. The key project was designed with one basement and four floors with a height of 20 meters, a construction area of more than 1,700 square meters and a total floor area of more than 8,551 square meters.
Up to now, the project has completed 100 percent of the first floor. It is expected that this project will be completed in August and handed over in September 2024.
