GEOLOGY MUSEUM INTRODUCTION

  The history of Geology Museum:

After the Dong Duong  Geology Office had been founded in 1898, two French geologists, Mr. Lantenois and Mr. Mansuy, were committed to construct the Geology Museum.

In 1914, the museum was completed at the Office at No. 6, Pham Ngu Lao, Hanoi. According to the article of Mr. Blondel, who was the director of Dong Duong Geology Office at that time, the museum was a one-floor house with the dimension of (39x9.5) meters.

In 1915, the museum was improved from a one-floor house into a three-floor house with the total area of 1111.5 square meters.
