Vietnam: The National Museum of Vietnamese History, Hanoi (early 20th century)

Originally named after a French archeologist and researcher, the Louis Finot Museum is located in the Hoan Kien district of Hanoi. It is housed in a colonial French building which was completed in 1932. The building, designed by the architect Ernest Hebrard, is considered a successful blend of French colonial and traditional Vietnamese architecture known as Indochina architecture. Hebrard created double walls and balconies for a natural ventilation system and protection from sunshine. Today, it is a museum showcasing Vietnam's history with very large displays covering every period.
