On April 22, Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee announced that the Truong Sa Museum was started on the occasion of the 51st anniversary of the Liberation of the Truong Sa archipelago (April 29, 1975 - April 29, 2026) and the 51st anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2026). The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2028.
The museum is built on a land area of 1.71ha, with a construction area of about 3,873m2, including 3 above-ground floors and 1 basement.
The central block has a soft shape, curved according to the natural terrain, playing the role of organizing the overall space.
According to Huni Architectes' design plan, the project was formed from the idea of "flows of enthusiasm" rising from the ground, expressing the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese nation.
The overall architecture includes three branches facing Gac Ma Island, Truong Sa Lon Island and the East Sea, creating three symbolic space axes.
The highlight of the project is the fiberglass reinforced concrete layer with stylized red coral patterns, creating a vivid visual effect.
The interior space is organized in an open direction, with floor spaces gradually increasing in height, combining the arrangement of the display space interspersed between narrowing and expanding to guide viewers' emotions.
The museum's display content is divided into themes, applying modern projection technology and lighting effects to enhance the experience.
To date, the Khanh Hoa Provincial Museum has initially completed the collection work with 1,154 images, documents and artifacts, including many images, documentaries and artifacts related to Truong Sa.
Leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Khanh Hoa said that the investment in building the Truong Sa Museum aims to propagate and educate patriotic traditions, raise awareness of protecting sea and island sovereignty, and at the same time serve research, display and introduction of related historical values.
This is a project of special significance, not only preserving valuable documents and artifacts about Truong Sa but also contributing to affirming Vietnam's sacred sea and island sovereignty.
The Truong Sa Museum project will be built on a land area of 1.71ha, adjacent to the Gac Ma Soldiers Memorial Area (Cam Lam district). The design and construction competition costs are sponsored by private enterprises.
When completed, the Truong Sa Museum will connect with the Gac Ma Soldiers Memorial Area (operating since 2017) built by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor on an area of over 20,000m2 with a total investment of nearly 130 billion VND.
Initially, the entire amount of money for building the Gac Ma Soldiers Memorial Area was supported by people, officials, workers, and laborers across the country through the Labor Golden Heart Fund from the Hoang Sa, Truong Sa Affection Program.
