The 11-hectare complex will be located on the northern bank of the Hien Luong-Ben Hai special national relic site in Cua Tung Commune, an area closely associated with Vietnam’s wartime history and aspirations for reunification.
Funded under the 2025-2035 national cultural development programme, the project will include a two-storey exhibition building of about 20,000 square metres, outdoor displays for large artefacts such as tanks and aircraft, and landscaped parks with sculptures.
Construction is scheduled for 2026-2028, focusing on core works and artefact collection. Interiors, exhibitions and staff training are planned for 2029, with the museum due to open in 2030.
The project aims to preserve and promote the value of wartime relics, honour historical figures and events, and foster public awareness of peace and national development.
Through documents, artefacts and visual reconstructions, the museum will educate younger generations and is expected to attract domestic and international visitors, supporting local growth.
Quang Tri currently holds more than 5,000 wartime documents and artefacts from the 1954-1975 period, preserved in storage facilities, provincial museums and local exhibition spaces.
