History

The construction of the museum building was started in 1885 and completed in 1890, according to the design of French architect Alfred Foulhoux. It was commonly called Gia Long Palace because the park and the road in front of the palace were named Gia Long. The purpose of the building was to be an Industry and Trade Museum, displaying products of Cochinchina. However, soon after the construction was completed, the building was used as a residence by Vice Governor-General of French Indochina Henri Eloi Danel (1850-1898). Later, the building was used as a palace for Vice Governors-General of French Indochina, Cochinchina Governers and Vietnamese Prime Ministers.

In 1954, the building was named as Gia Long Palace by the Country Head Bao Dai. Ngo Dinh Diem stayed here temporarily when he was Prime Minister (1954).

After the referendum in 1955, Ngo Dinh Diem used this building as the International Visitor Palace. On February 27, 1962, the Independence Palace was bombed, Ngo Dinh Diem moved the his headquarters to Gia Long Palace and stayed here until he was overthrown in November 1963.

During 1964-1965, the palace was used as the Country Head’s residence. On October 31, 1966, when the new Independence Palace was rebuilt, this building was used as the headquarters of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Vietnam until April 30, 1975.

After 1975, the building was not temporarily used for any specific purpose. On August 12, 1978, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee decided to use this building as the Ho Chi Minh City Revolution Museum. On December 13, 1999, it was renamed the Ho Chi Minh City Museum as today.

Building and Architecture

The building of the museum was designed by Alfred Foulhoux, a French architect. Its architecture is a blend of Oriental and Occidental styles. The has 2 floors and a total area of the building is more than 1,700 m².

Because the original purpose of the building is the Trade Museum exhibiting domestic products, in the past, on the two sides of the main gate had 2 pillars decorated with two statues of Goddess of Industry and Commerce. However, in 1943, Cochinchina Governor Ernest Thimothée Hoeffel removed two statues of the Goddesses to build a porch.

The facade with grand and small columns evokes the classical style of constructions in Paris. The center of front triangular is Republic bust, beside are laurel, flowers and leaves, snake, cock and scops owl symbolizing the day and the night, the last is the head of Republic.

Impressive decor items include the figurine of young Commercial Genie, Hermes – Mercure with bird wings, pearls on grand pillars and at the prow of the ship in the Southeast of the palace. Other decorations include crane, saurian, crocodiles reminiscing Southern marsh. Abundant sculptures including representative animals, geometrical motifs (cartouche, disk), vegetables were used to decorate help to reduce edifice’s monotone.

Surrounding the building is a flower garden campus shaped like a trapezoid, surrounded by the four major roads mentioned above.
