Abstract

Since its inception, the history of the museum as an institution has manifested various displays of power that have caused museums themselves to become pawns in the game of persuasive dynamics so typical of soft power. This article introduces the transformations in the use of museums as an indoctrinating tool that have taken place in Vietnam since it was a colonized country, during war conflicts, and up to the present moment marked by an authoritarian government and a weak civil society
