The museum will cover over 32 hectares in either the Quoc Oai biological area in Hanoi’s Quoc Oai district or the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism in Dong Mo, Son Tay, Hanoi.

The museum, run by the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, will have both indoor and outdoor exhibition areas. It will contribute to preserving the natural values of Vietnam and the outside world, enriching the community’s knowledge of nature and raising awareness of protecting nature and the environment.

Total investment for the project has yet to be determined, but will be based on the cost of component projects and will be funded by the State budget as well as other sources.

Scheduled to be completed in 2025, the museum will be a leading national symbol, as approved in the master plan of the natural museum system between 2020 and 2030.
