History and development The museum began as a tradition house built on 20 July 1984, exactly on the tenth anniversary of the founding of the 4th Army Corps, and was upgraded to a museum on 13 July 1995 under Decision No. 613 of the Ministry of National Defence. 02.

The displays have been reorganised into three themes: 60 years of the Central Highlands Front and the 3rd Army Corps, 50 years of the 4th Army Corps, and “The 34th Army Corps inheriting and developing a heroic tradition”.
